Is the Chernobyl fungus getting rid of the radiation?

175 viewsOther

Didn’t know what specific flair this called for. I saw some post on fb, which I never taking at face value, but I also do not have the knowledge to dispute it or confirm it. I did a bit of research myself, but didn’t find the answers I was looking for. All I managed to find, or think I learned, is that it just thrives in radiation but isn’t decreasing it. Maybe not? Help? lol

No, it just can live where other life cannot, and use chemicals produced by radioactive decays as food.

Only nuclear reactions can change the radioactivity of things (apart from a few special cases not relevant here), and life doesn’t do any nuclear reactions.
