The sign
reads:
RADIOACTIVE POLLUTION!
NO GRAZING CATTLE.
MOWING HAY, COLLECTING MUSHROOMS AND BERRIES,

isotopes range from days to thousands of years. The weather,
human intervention and time all play their part. Experts cannot
agree where the safe zone begins, or which land can be used
for agriculture.
