"There were cases of radiactive tv sets and other stuff being sold on city second hand markets and then police shot 7 or 8 of them and it helped"

Remember it all too well. Was living far too close to it at the time. Also remember Al Aho (the "A" in awk) was visiting Helsinki aroud the time, so he had put "finland" in his newswire profile. For a couple of weeks there was the occasional item, and then suddenly one morning his mailbox was full...
A large number of reindeer got hit by the radiation (they eat moss, and moss absorbs a lot of the stuff), and for a couple of years nobody picked mushrooms or berries in the Finnish woods...

Amazing, indeed... Reminded me of Tarkovsky's 'Stalker'.

Digging up an old thread... - 20/04/2006 10:14
There have been a few interesting articles on this recently, along with some other photographs. I find it almost
optimistic (unusual for me) that wildlife has already reclaimed the area and is doing remarkably well now that humans have left.
