...the sound of an excavator in the background at the beginning of the report while you are standing in the (red?) forest makes me nervous. Thankfully it seemed to be raining a bit while you were there. I am from Europe and remember when the reactor blew, it sent radioactive fallout exactly our way. The raindrops were black, and the rust on exposed sheetmetal turned dark grey. We had no Geiger counters as teenagers so we slipped photographic paper into black envelopes, and laid items onto the envelope for a short while and then developed the paper. The tread pattern of my shoes which I put on the envelope was perfectly visible. Same with vegetables. Yuk. Thanks for reporting, stay safe, slava Ukraine

Thank you so much, Mr. Harbaugh - we need to see more of these reports - we have so little knowledge of Ukraine and the struggles these people are experiencing thanks to Putin's aggression. Additionally, Ukraine is practically fighting Russia on behalf of all of Europe.

That’s horrible that Chernobyl is still so dangerous and Russia is trying to stir it up!
