Is the Chernobyl fungus getting rid of the radiation?

171 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

The fungus absorbs radiation, but that radiation would only last for a very tiny fraction of a second anyways. Radiation does not exist for very long. The long-lived stuff is radioactive material, and it will decay at its natural pace no matter what, producing radiation as it goes. This is not removed by the fungus.
