Would you eat food grown in Chernobyl?

When the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl tragically exploded in 1986, the accident was considered to be the worst nuclear disaster in human history. Radiation killed hundreds of people, contaminated the soil and left the land barren. Most experts believed that the area would remain lifeless for generations. But now just a quarter of a century later, scientists are returning to the site of the explosion — to plant soybeans and flax. Why? Though Chernobyl and the nearby town of Pripyat remain ghost towns, scientists have nevertheless been surprised at how certain plants have recovered throughout the area. The plants have somehow adapted and, in some cases, even thrived despite the fact that the environment remains highly radioactive.
