Hello,
what bothers me most is that - depending on the source - there have been 40 to 50 kg of Plutonium being blown into the atmosphere during the explosion. I do not know whether those are reliable numbers, but if you know what it is able to - a spoonful of this stuff dispersed over England would kill anything, not because of radiation but toxicity. Luckily Plutonium is a quite heavy stuff, so it was washed down quickly, but it still accumulates in plants, mushrooms etc. and makes its path through the food chain. Scientists believe it is a time bomb for the next some 10.000s of years.
Greetings,
Catfish
