Chernobyl Nuclear Fallout Is Still In Our Food 

Why blaming Chernobyl? Isn't Cesium-137 everywhere?

​@MarianLuca-rz5kk no and yes No, because it never existed before Trinity and yes because nuclear tests around the world made it go everywhere

​@@MarianLuca-rz5kkjapans still keaking but thyr just not showing it. New zealand got their crap from wind streams

​@@MarianLuca-rz5kktheres also tritium all over the twin tiwers site. Formed frim neuclear breakdown.

@@MarianLuca-rz5kk Chernobyl made an awful lot of it. Before Chernobyl, the quantities would have been smaller, and before the start of nuclear testing, the quantities would have been very small. And now Fukushima made still more of it, although with the mitigating factor of less of it going into the atmosphere (but still going into the ocean as well as the soil and ground water immediately around there) -- the extended fire at Chernobyl really made sure it would get spread widely.

That's what I thought when he said it lol

I like having a random capsule of cesium 137 around.

LOL, I did a wtf? too.

A capsule of Cesium is still pretty cool to have around (assuming its Cs-133)

It Depends on 😂

Any explosion of enough power will create a mushroom cloud

lol

Yah, that's how Rayleigh-Taylor instability works

It could that be used to power electronic devices?

The cloud is actually half of a torus

I hope you never get cancer. When I lived in Germany you couldn't eat the wild boar because they ate the radioactive mushrooms. Interesting analog to tuna and mercury concentration. Or the Roman empire and lead. Our civilizations do make progress, but at a large social cost

@@jamesyoungquist6923 It could have been that my thyroid suffered a bit, because now I have to take tablets for it. But I have no idea if that's really the cause. If anything else got messed up, hopefully it fully healed by now...

Feel sad that you didn't get the chance to eat them😢

@@hamzarafiq9347 Pass. You can have them.

Mushroom literally parasite bro

radio...trophic!? you can't eat radiation. How is that possible.

@@sylv256fungi: hold my spores and watch this

@@sylv256 Current studies have found that increased melanin content in these fungi correlates with enhanced growth, so we hypothesize that the melanin in radiotrophic fungi helps support an important metabolic reaction of some kind involving radiation, although more evidence is needed to fully prove that it is melanin which is responsible for the perceived radiotrophic abilities. At the very least, we know that melanin in radiotrophic fungi is very much most likely what helps shield them from radiation's damaging effects as melanins are known to be able to absorb electromagnetic radiation due to their dark colors and high molecular weights. The process is called radiosynthesis and doesn't have a lot of study done on it (for obvious reasons), but even if it's not purely radiosynthesis (incorporating other methods of energy generation) or not radiosynthesis at all, these fungi are still very resistant to radiation when compared to most organisms on the planet.

Neeeeeerd (compliment)

@@sylv256 They put the fun in fungi. No seriously, Fungi can do insane things - like for example eating plastic.

Missed opportunity!

Underrated 😂

yummy☢️

Yet wildlife thrives.

@@erikziak1249 Thrives and thrives... it's about the same as it's always been. It seems you think of the thriving wildlife in the Chernobyl exclusion zone that benefits from the lack of humans but magnusz4566 was talking about northern Sweden (I read between the lines that he didn't mean north of but northern, north of makes no sense).

@@erikziak1249 The wildlife thrives, but the animals have a higher cancer rate.

@@RCAvhstape interestingly the dogs in the exclusion zone seem to do fine. But their life expectancy is lower than the time for the increased cancer risk to cause issues.

I can _Appreciate_ that statement in fact, I'm pritty sure the shrooms in my Life were _Key_ to my majoring in Physics

What is going on

​@@p3achyyp8p16 lol sweet summer child.

@@grekygrek oh could you please explain?

@@p3achyyp8p16 Psilocybin mushrooms

I'm from Slovakia and what you say is true. He didn't show distribution of Cesium for Slovakia but I expect it to be something between Ukrainian an Austrian. So quite low. But there are other factors affecting expectancy. For instance we eat much less junk food than US and have less obesity. So despite more radiation and worse healthcare life expectancy is pretty good.

Nah. That totaled to 97.1% what he showed and since germany has 1.1% then slovakia has less than that or the same.

It's a case of you might see an increased number of cases of cancer in a population. Your family is too small a sample size to tell anything at all. So let's say a person without exposure has a risk of getting cancer in their lifetime of 20%, you may have a risk of 21% (number taken out of my ass, but you get the point). You will never be able to tell what the cause is, but it may show up in statistics. It has also only been 40 years, not even half a lifetime has passed since chernobyl.

The level of increased exposition is well below the stochastic limit. There are people living all their life in regions with way more natural radiation all year long, than a few mushrooms and with no statistically significant diff with the average death rate. (Indian plateau, french britain, polynesian islands etc)

Is that what you used to kill those who miss their lessons? *Please let my Family live*

Then buy shares of the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust.

With mint frosting.

@@lewisevans4580i5s not the real duolingo

So quirky and funny

You might 😅😅

Where I live, most mushrooms is farmed. They are safe to eat.

stay safe ❤

that's exactly why

Do you understand the difference between a nuclear bomb explosion, and a fire in a nuclear power station?

@@neuralwarp do you even lift?

Yes nothing like a massive charcoal fire, that burns hot enough to melt most materials into glass, to spread debris around.

Fukushima had hydrogen explosions on the escape valve where the hydrogen was being released, not inside the chamber, that was VERY different. Also there was tree levels of containment. Chernobyl was basically an open pot.

@@monad_tcp Yes, explosion happened outside the reactor vessel. The hydrogen came from the water vapor reacting with the zirconium, right?

ok grandpa. did you take your dementia meds

@@toseltreps1101 I am a grandpa, my IQ decay is being monitored, and I am taking meds for it.

@@tnekkcbro actually is on meds

he wouldnt need to the radiation came only from the cesium in the mushrooms if he were to get some mushrooms from america as a control group it would have cesium and there would be no point

​@@timelesssoul1613 He specifically called out mushrooms and blueberries from Eastern Europe for being highly radio-active. For rigor, he should've done comparison tests on a control group of American-grown mushrooms and blueberries.

Where was that suggested?

"It's in our oceans and seafood right now." Cause it is irrelevant. Even right at the plant the radiation is minimal, then there was only a very small amount released into the oceans. If you would really care about that then you would mention that China has, for the past decades, released more radiation into the ocean every single WEEK than Fukushima has in its entire livetime (including the meltdown and all the released material there).

Fukushima had a containment vessel. The only remnant outside of the vessel is the cooling water which is stored. The amount of stored water relative to the amount of seawater even 5 miles from the plant is miniscule. Seawater contains radiation naturally. It's not worth talking about. Quit spreading fear.

@@ABaumstumpf don't be racist, leave chinese people alone

@@ABaumstumpf Ummmm. You need to do more research champion. The seafood caught in the US has radiation from Fukushima. "a very small amount". Incorrect I'm afraid. Right now the radioactive waste is leaching into the sub spring under the plant and has been for years. See, it's people like you who are clueless about what's' really going on that think there's nOtHinG tO wORrY aBoUt.

@@ABaumstumpf And even then, it STILL DOES NOTHING!!!!

No, you have to get bitten by one.

Geiger counter is not suitable, gamma spectrometer should be used instead.

I think in this sense he's measuring danger by the number of people impacted Cannon lake some snakes are far more venomous than others that are considered more dangerous simply because they attack more people every year

Radon is far more insidious, because it is easy to have concentrated in an enclosed space with ground contact, and it decays right inside your lungs.

It’s a beta particle and gamma particle producer. These are less dangerous than alpha particles if ingested. But they can cause cancer and other health problems.

Yes I saw it

I'm Brazilian, can confirm my nuts are radioactive

Nuclear reactions of uranium do occur naturally. Google Oklo.

The clouds moved across most of Europe but the radiation only came down where it rained. So some regions got lucky and others now have random spots of radiation based on how much it rained back then. I think what scared people so much isn't the average radiation but how unevenly it was distributed and not knowing how much is in your food.

Yeah, he showed the distribution on the screen. Interesting though that Slovakia could have less than Austria, I didn't expect that.

Buy WT-20 tungsten electrodes instead.

Disgusting, they should not be considered food, just concentrated mold.

I knew Belarus took whole a lot of radiation and im also surprised theres no Poland mentioned in the chart

​@@18wind08great point. You are very observant.

Беларусь загрязнена на юго-востоке, а Польша находится к западу от Беларуси, т.е. с другой стороны, поэтому там чисто

expanding air between the pot and the plate?

@@HappyBeezerStudios Thanks!! that's probably it.

Eh, other than the main site of the reactor, its still safe

@@normalchannel2185 oh I see, thanks

It is not CGI, but it is not Chernobyl. It is a real fire that happened at a refinery in Israel in 2016. But the audio is the real announcement after the accident at Chernobyl warning residents to evacuate.

Are you aware there's a description for each RU-vid video? Read the description. He even said in the video that he _would_ indeed give out the info
