It took a while even after that Swedish scientists where begginning to
measure high levels of radiation before the Soviet authoritys admitted that
something gone wrong. We still have parts of the country where you can't eat
the meat until it's tested and there was some last huntingseason that had to
be destroyed. And all because of some stupid idea of shutting of the
emergency cooling system to do some experementing.

P.S.
As for the laundry. my fathers aunt had a summerhouse outside Stockholm she
had some laundry hanging on a line to make it look habitated(?) It really
didn't work after a half winter and after ten the line would probably have
broke.

I would bet that is the "storage area" for anything that got hot, then
they just towed or drove them there and left them since they had no way
to clean them when they were done. The red ones are actual plant
vehicles and the others were the military vehicles sent in during the
evacuation. They would have all been exposed to extreme radiation, as
would anyone in them. Remember that many people were NEVER told what was
going on until it was way to late. I remember reading one fireman's
account about it and they went into the "fire" without even minimal
protection because they were NOT told about the radiation and were in
fact told that it was just a fire and that there was no other problem.
This was after the containment vessel had already been breached and
everything there was deadly. He was dead in less than a week.
