Basically the title. I don’t understand why if nuclear weapons and explosions are so dangerous and cause all this damage to the environment and nuclear fallout why the places in Japan that the US nuked are seemingly fine but, Chernobyl can’t be lived in for the next several thousand lifetimes. Maybe i’m just ignorant or something. But I really just don’t understand.
