I seem to recall back in college a physics professor discounting the claims of having abnormal offspring. “If you get that much radiation you’ll die before you can pass it on.”
I recall the show “River Monster Fishing” (or something like that) where the guy travels all over after big fish - often they are almost in the realm of myth - but the locals catch them periodically.
He did one show in the exclusion zone of Chernobyl.

YES.
I have seen the TV show with JEREMY WADE, the extreme fisherman from ANIMAL PLANET.
The ONE place where there is a REAL problem with radiation in the 1st quarter of the 21st century is on the bottom of the cooling tower lake, which has verified radiation levels IN the bottom’s mud of over 40X that of any other area of the X-Zone.
A Personal Note: As some folks here know, I’m a volunteer with TPWD, a TEXAS MASTER NATURALIST & we have similar volunteers in Ukraine, who are currently doing wildlife & botany projects in the “hot zone”.
The MASTER NATURALISTS of the Ukraine are DOING GREAT WORK, that is INVALUABLE to an understanding of the long-term effects of radiation upon both plants & animals AND which information cannot be obtained by other means.
The VOLUNTEER MASTER NATURALIST groups are in about half of US States & at this time in SIX foreign nations. ===> We TMN invite anyone who is dedicated to fish, wildlife & botany to enter into the training & join us “crazy volunteers” in completing projects that interest you.

The "zanders" he was catching in that video look remarkably like our walleye here in Michigan. If they are related, he's throwing away one of the best tasting fish that fishermen here would give their right arm for......And he's catching them right and left......LOL!
I'm surprised some enterprising Russian hasn't started a charter fishing business but then Chernobyl in the background kinda has a bad reputation.......
Speaking of “scientists” predicting the future, when I was in grad school in the 1970s we were ASSURED that IF we did not spend the 2020 equivalent of 5 TRILLION USD immediately, that HALF of humans would die of cold/starvation in a new ICE AGE & within a decade.
Did I fall asleep & sleep through the NEW ICE AGE??
OR
Was what “all legitimate scientists believe” a “fabric of nitwittery, guesses, foolish blather, estimates & outright lies”??
