ok… so that just shows they’re idiots.

And if that’s the case, one should explain why that is rather than trying to twist the truth to fit a narrative.

there was not much radiation because most of it was scattered EVERYWHERE. and the radioactive material was very shortlived. Chernobyl is still very hot, especially in the immediate surrounding areas and nothing like after being nuked as the radioactive material left behind is very long lived

I agree.
