To carry out the study, they were covered in ice and buried in shallow trenches, 387 and 838 meters, respectively, from the place where a 29 kiloton bomb was going to detonate, as well as other supplies were stored in freezers in homes. from the city of survival, 1.4 kilometers from ground zero. <\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 3 --><\/p>\n<p><strong>29 kilotons, to give us an idea, is twice the power of Hiroshima<\/strong>. So it was more than enough to cover everything in radioactivity. But not all foods absorbed it equally, after waiting two and a half days before digging up the food, as explained <strong>Pierre Barth\u00e9l\u00e9my<\/strong> in his book <em>Improbable science experiments<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 4 --><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The loins of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.directoalpaladar.com\/tag\/bacalao\">cod<\/a> They turned out to be the most radioactive, ahead of peas.

(\u2026) An analysis showed that the nutritional properties had not been diminished, except for a decrease in the vitamin B9 levels of the frozen French fries. A team of volunteers also ensured that in terms of taste, texture and appearance, there were no notable differences compared to the control foods.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And the food in the freezers? Well, they did not present any sign of radioactivity. However, the report warns that the consumption of foods exposed to radiation &quot;should be avoided as much as possible during the first two weeks, except in cases of urgent need.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 5 --><\/p>\n<p> &#8211; <br \/> The news<br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xatakaciencia.com\/sabias-que\/explosion-nuclear-ests-alimentos-que-se-vuelven-radiactivos?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=28_May_2020\"><br \/>\n       <em> After a nuclear explosion, these are the foods that become most radioactive <\/em><br \/>\n      <\/a><br \/>\n      was originally published in<br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xatakaciencia.com\/?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=28_May_2020\"><br \/>\n       <strong> Xataka Science <\/strong><br \/>\n      <\/a><br \/>\n            by <a\n       href=\"https:\/\/www.xatakaciencia.com\/autor\/sergio-parra?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=28_May_2020\"><br \/>\n       Sergio Parra<br \/>\n      <\/a><br \/>\n      . <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/xatakaciencia\/~4\/WGK1ySjvBW0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>    Many of us have been immersed in the extraordinary television series Chernobyl, starring the insurmountable Jared Harris.
