The Chernobyl site than at unpollut

The Chernobyl site than at unpolluted sites. Despite this, vole populations seem to thrive in the radioactive regions around the reator.
Almost every country in the northern hemisphere has been affected by Chernobyl. For example, restrictions were placed on the sale of sheep in certain parts of Britain because the grass they were eating bacame contaminated by radioactive cesium 137. It was thought that these restrictions would be required for approximately 3 weeks, but while restrictions on 50 cumbrian farms were lifted in 1995. 9 years after the explosion, restrictions remained in place at a further 60 farms. In some countries infant leukemia rates more than doubled as a result of Chernobyl. For instance, some parts of Greece received ten times the radioactivity that other parts of the country did children born between 1 july 1986 and 31 December 1987 in these polluted ares were 2.6 times as likely to develop leukemia as children born between 1 January 1980 and 31 December 1985 or between 1 January 1988 and 31 December 1990
