Chernobyl radiation in Scotland

largest nuclear disaster at Chernobyl. Several days later, clouds
containing the radioactive caesium-137 released by the reactor passed over
Scotland about 1,400 miles or 2,500 kilometres away. Although we got off
lightly in comparison to nearer neighbors, rain brought radioactivity to
the ground contaminating parts of southern and central Scotland.
Understandings of the impact of radioactivity on human health are
constantly being revised but scientists generally agree that any additional
radiation over natural levels in the environment can have negative effects
particularly on women and children. Even here, it is likely that some
cancers will have been caused by Chernobyl.
