The Science..
Our group of Ukrainian and UK scientists has been studying the transfer of radioactivity to crops both in the main Exclusion Zone (CEZ) and in the Narodychi District within the Zone of Obligatory Resettlement, where land can't officially be used for agriculture, but people still live.
The research shows that in many areas land could now be used to produce crops which are safe to eat. We have used distillation to reduce radioactivity in the crop even further to make a product from Chernobyl which is as safe to drink as any other spirit.
