The blue glow is a feature, not a bug

I think the truly scary part is, while nuclear accidents are bad for humans, especially in the immediate vicinity, what we are learning from Chernobyl is that unlike coal/gas/fossil fuels, nuclear is something apparently nature doesn't give too much of a gently caress about, and can recover fairly gracefully from it.

Sucks for humans.

Most of the Red Forest was bulldozed and buried, then new saplings planted over the top.

The soil, however, is still heavily contaminated, however wildlife seems to be doing well.

As soon as they pulled the tarp off it I was like "that thing has way too many moving parts to survive the radiation levels they described."

Its more the chips than the moving parts. Its part of why we test chips going to space, because silicon is not friendly with radiation.
