Munich today – news from April 25th, 2022 – Munich

On April 26, 1986, my friends and I, not checking the weather outside, were sitting at home studying for our high school exams. A few days later there was a violent thunderstorm, after which I went for a walk with my girlfriend. We ran barefoot through the rain-soaked grass, it smelled like spring. But the thunderstorm had not only unloaded plenty of rain, but also an invisible danger: forests and meadows were suddenly radioactive – because on April 26, 1986 in Chernobyl in today’s Ukraine the reactor block had exploded and a huge radioactive cloud with the east wind also followed Upper Bavaria arrived.

Hauke ​​Doerk has a doctorate in physics and is an expert on radioactivity at the Munich Environmental Institute. He is also examining mushrooms from the region for their radioactivity 36 years after the nuclear catastrophe. Some species are still heavily contaminated today, but wild boar meat is often even more so, he told me in an interview today. The term cesium-137, a radioactive isotope, also came up in the conversation. Of course, in 1986 we high school graduates knew all the words like becquerel, strontium 90 and millisievert, even if they were not part of the exam. Hauke ​​Doert only learned them later, he was only two years old when the Chernobyl reactor disaster struck.
