Do nuclear power leaks affect local trees?
...... Trees can retain radioactivity and become a threat to humans
The potential for radioactive material to leak into the natural environment around the damaged Japanese reactors prompted a quick look on the web to see whether there had been any reports on trees being affected by radioactivity after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986.
ÿ
Well, 6 years after the Chernobyl leak, the following article appeared.
Police in Ukraine have impounded a number of radioactive Christmas trees, reports say.
 The trees were said to have been cut down in an area contaminated by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986.
ÿ
Officials seized the fir trees at local markets in the southern town of Rovno, where they were being sold for the upcoming Orthodox Christmas, Itar-Tass agency reported.
ÿ
After the region was covered by a radioactive cloud, a complete ban on the felling of trees in the contaminated forests surrounding Chernobyl was imposed.
ÿ
Police said the local businessmen knew the trees from the Zhytomyr region were contaminated, and used forged documents to sell them.
ÿ
The authorities are now trying to trace people who have already bought the trees.
