Contaminating everything within 30 miles???????

Up in Nordland the most northerly county of Norway they found that a huge cloud of radioactive dust from Chernobyl had settled on it.s reindeer grazing grounds, this made the Norwegians very angry as they had to kill severl hundred reindeer as they were contaminated by radioactivity!

My guess whould be that some of the contamination from Chernobyl was found about 1,000 miles from Chernobyl!!!
