There are a lot of mutations in species but they get weeded out and many young fish living in the reactor's cooling ponds are deformed. But adults tend to be healthy, implying that those harmed by radiation die young. This is good to know. I've often wondered why the area seems so normal in all the pictures that are shown. Personally, I suspect it will be quite livable much sooner than world suspects.
And my brother, who has visited the area agrees.

it will be many hundreds of millennia before humans could live in the area again I save up little details like this for when people lecture me about the glories of socialism.

OP, you said this was an excerpt. You posted the entire article, which is not really much of an article. Really short article with very little content.

I've seen where one small village once off the map in the old Soviet Ukraine living right next to a bomb crater that is filled with radioactive water. They drink and bathe there. And the mutations....

Yes this is a must read for those interested in Chernobyl. I have read it a few times.
