I have rewritten this section. The previous writeup said a number of things that are not supported by the source document. I found a few online references (e.g. https://emilms.fema.gov/IS3/FEMA_IS/is03/REM0504050.htm) that also make unsupported inferences or factual errors about the data in the source document.
I'm not sure it needs to be mentioned in this section, but the "seven ten rule" is not the same exponential relation that describes decay of individual radionuclides: that relation describes an exponential decrease in radioactivity from a linear increase in time. The "seven ten rule" describes a geometric decrease in radiation dose from a geometric increase in time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Echawkes ( talk • contribs) 23:29, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
The article states that nuclear fallout "is orange in colour and has a tiger-like structure." Tiger-like structure? What is that supposed to mean? -- 2601:18A:C500:C00:21BA:160B:F3A0:8DED ( talk) 03:31, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
Mess created from Chernobyl is not fallout. It is a special type of radiological contamination.
There is a huge difference between fallout and reactor contamination, both chemically and in sense of radioisotopic content, which in the end produces different effects on biological organisms.
Nuclear reactor accidents have no place in this article and mentioning them seems like pure antinuclear scaremongering. Lajoswinkler ( talk) 18:25, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
