\"Next, the researchers looked for telltale isotopic signatures. The researchers were particularly interested in two different forms of cesiumâcesium-137 and cesium-135âwhich are produced at different ratios depending on whether they were borne from a reactor or a nuclear explosion. By comparing the relative masses of these isotopes in their samples, Feng and colleagues could figure out where the cesium originated.\"
\"The team found that all the boar meat contained radioactive cesium from both Chernobyl and nuclear weapons fallout. The proportion from nuclear bomb blasts varied between 10% and 99% across samples. Thatâs âastonishingly high,â Kaste says. In one-quarter of the boars, the radioactivity from the bombsâ fallout alone was enough to make the meat too dangerous to eat.\"
