40 Years Later, Chernobyl's Nuclear Fallout Is Not What Scientists Expected

Researchers found six radioactive particles still held much of their crystal structure after 40 years, a sign some Chornobyl debris is more stable than expected.

Summary by Science Daily
Forty years after the Chornobyl disaster, tiny radioactive particles still linger in the soil, carrying a dangerous legacy. Using powerful X-rays, scientists discovered that some of these particles have remained surprisingly stable, trapping radioactive substances inside instead of releasing them into the environment.
