    I grew up in the Chernobyl area. Was in 8th grade when It blew up. We were playing outside and nobody told us about the catastrophe for a few days and it would've been better to stay inside. Now In my immediate family we have two cases of thyroid cancer(one sister passed) and the third sister had her thyroid removed because it started to grow uncontrollably. One case of breast cancer, one case of stomach cancer, one case of tongue cancer and one case of brain cancer (passed as well)... It is all in between 12 people who once lived in the Chernobyl affected area...

      The thyroid cancer I believe is due to radioactive iodine. I live about ten miles from a nuclear electricity generation facility, and we are instructed to have iodine tablets on hand to consume in the event of an accident at that facility. The thyroid absorbs that ordinary iodine, and that reduces radioactive iodine absorption by the thyroid.
      Those living in the vicinity of Chernobyl could have been supplied with iodine tablets to reduce the incidence of thyroid cancer.

    I ran into a couple of wild boar while on maneuvers in Germany as an officer in the US Army. One night we stopped on top of a low hill. I was in an armored personnel carrier heard, something was knocking on the back of the vehicle like somebody was trying to get in, I looked over the back of the vehicle. It was a wild boar attacking our armored vehicle. I decided not to dismount. Another time I was in the Jeep and we were going through a forest early in the morning when be rounded a corner. There was a wild board standing in the middle of the road, he wasn’t moving. And since he looked bigger than my jeep, I decided to back up.

    The Chernobyl accident's failure to decimate wild boar populations reveals a haunting truth: nature's resilience in the face of human catastrophe. While radiation wreaked havoc on human lives and the environment, these creatures adapted and thrived, embodying a powerful, if unsettling, testament to life’s enduring will to survive against all odds.

    These nuclear exclusion zones are laboratories to study natural selection and genetic drift in isolated populations.
    Wild boar have had some 75 generations. Some early sows had a slightly higher chance of survival; some of their piglets inherited this gene. (The deformed ones became wolf & dog munchies.) I would expect the current population to be more closely related genetically than say elsewhere. .

    At the beginning of the film, it is said that we know of 4,000 recorded victims. About 6-7 years ago, I read in a BBC news report that the Japanese Supreme Court acquitted the 3 top managers of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, because they did not find a single case of death that resulted directly from the accident at the power plant. Of course, even to this day, the press records the disaster that occurred on this day with 23,000 deaths. It is not described that this was all caused by the tsunami. Who among you has heard about the Bhopal disaster. It was an explosion at a chemical plant in India in the 1970s. The result was 20,000 dead. From these examples, you can see how the press plays with us and changes reality. And this method is also a great lesson on how they are trying to tune us against nuclear energy.

    There was a more competent story on that. Wild life was affected by the disaster by becoming actual undisturbed wild life, all plants and animals in the exclusion zone doing great. Over the years, detected radiation levels in the specimens was decreasing, EXCEPT for wild boars that had a robust health even so.
    To be sure, when an animal is a victim of cancer, local carnivores would dispose of it, so an unhappy boar makes a happy wolf, the ecosystem marches on, unlike with humans who collect statistics, complain about pain etc., so the status of the wild life does not necessarily mean that the area can be returned to human habitation.
    BTW, after researching, it was discovered that mushroom that are part of boar diet efficiently accumulate radioactive isotopes from deep in the soil
