This remarkable new finding runs counter to official “Stay Out” statistics, where many species of organisms are adversely affected by radiation during the time of the accident, thus leading to anomalies incompatible with life.

The news site Sputniknews reported that the devastating Chernobyl disaster, which occurred on April 26, 1986 due to the explosion at the No. 4 nuclear reactor of the power plant near the Pripyat River in Ukraine, the Soviet Union, was beneficial. for the environment, according to a shocking United Nations report at the Chernobyl Forum.
The report was titled “The Legacy of Chernobyl: Health, Environmental and Socioeconomic Impacts”.
Controversial positive impacts are thought to be related to the restoration of affected biota within the “Stay out Zone” through the “removal of human activities” there, such as the cessation of activities. cessation of agricultural and industrial activities.
The report also linked the cessation of industrial activity to population expansion of entire plant and animal species.
The area has become home to an unprecedented amount of biodiversity, although the severe impact of the accident, by one recent estimate, led to the potential for an additional 39,000 deaths. cancer deaths worldwide.

Plants and animals within 20-30 km of the reactor, were subjected to a high dose of radiation, resulting in death and abnormal development. However, in recent years, the adverse effects have decreased, with many species becoming more developed under new conditions.

Finally, the disaster also changed many people’s attitudes towards nuclear energy and nuclear safety. For example, Italy launched a project to phase out nuclear power in the country at the time, even though the project was abandoned in 2008, while the 2011 referendum showed that the people were looking forward to it. want the government to continue these efforts.
Simultaneously, the explosion prompted Germany to create a federal environment ministry, along with an outbreak of the anti-nuclear movement. The use of nuclear power eventually ceased under Gerhard Schroder.
April 26 marks 33 years since the Chernobyl disaster occurred in northern Ukraine, at the height of the Cold War, when the world was horrified by the prospect of a nuclear apocalypse.
People in the quarantine area became victims of radiation poisoning, the death toll ranged from 4,000 to 200,000, with more than 100,000 people being evacuated.
The crash, which occurred during a late-night safety inspection, looked like an ordinary power failure, but both the safety and emergency power control systems were purposefully turned off. destination.
