I saw a video that said that Chernobyl will not be habitable for another 20,000 years. I was curious as to why it takes so long to clean up radioactive contamination? Also for Chernobyl specifically as technology progresses couldn’t we find new methods that significantly reduce the amount it takes for Chernobyl to be habitable again?
Sorry for bad Grammer.

Imagine someone dumped 10 buckets of glitter all over a town. To get rid of it you would have to dig up all the soil and sift it for glitter, wash all the rocks, and find all the plants that absorbed any of the glitter. Not only that, you’d still have to put the glitter somewhere. Might as well just put a fence around the area instead.
