A friend of mine visited the Chernobyl area in 1992, and reported these impressions of the lingering effects.

I remember the DOD wasn’t encrypting the satellite images, and the Swedes made the images available.

Many countries were impacted by this. I was living in Switzerland at the time. The plume and its remnanrs travelled through a lot of western Europe. In Switzerland we could not drink the milk produced locally for a period of time(if you needed milk you had to purchase powdered milk), had to take extra care to wash all vegetables, etc. It was quite frightening at the time because we thought we might be getting exposed to increased cancer risks.
