wieso wird der wald 'red forest' genannt? also wieso ist er rot o.O

[lordyo75]

@JannaConEstilo Weil sich die Bäume nach dem Strahlenunfall 1986 rot gefärbt haben. Heute sehen die Bäume wieder einigermassen normal aus (das Wachstum ist allerdings immer noch gestört).

Has anyone been able to find footage or photos of the Red Forest at night? I've read many times that some of the area has a glow.

[lordyo75]

@divinydistant I strongly doubt this is true. Radiation usually doesn't glow - read this: abc.net.au/science/articles/20­08/05/20/2249925.htm

[tnerual888]

why exactly here is the radiation so high??

[lordyo75]

@tnerual888 Because Red Forest is the area which received most of the fallout on the day of the accident - it's very close to the reactor.

[cortexedge]

@lordyo75 some materials, like plutonium, thorium, are said to be glowing.
