If you are talking to me, then I agree, my earlier comment was that there are effects in the high radition areas on biodiversity and also healthineess of other animals. Seems like there are some animals that suffer less, wolves for example, and some that suffer more like passerine birds.

Some of the reports of it being a wildlife haven as well are coming from areas with a lot lower radiation.

Impression I get is for a area that does not have any resident humans the wildlife population is not as healthy as it should be in some parts, mainly due to raidiation effects.

The citations above are in support of my earlier post about this, at request of the AC. They mainly come from the scientist lised in the first link.
