According to experts interviewed by RBC, frogs in Chernobyl are not immune to radiation.
Chernobyl frogs have no resistance to radiation.
The same thing will happen to the frogs from Chernobyl placed in the operating reactor as to ordinary frogs, RBC reports, citing the director of the ANO Atominfo-Center, Alexander Uvarov.
Experts emphasize that elevated levels of external and internal radiation do not affect all living beings in the same way.
Andrey Ozharovsky, an engineer and physicist and expert on the Radioactive Waste Safety program, explained that Chernobyl frogs cannot be used to create a magic pill.
Radiation is apparently just as dangerous for Chernobyl frogs as it is for ordinary ones.
In early November, a group of scientists concluded that radiation levels in Chernobyl were not high enough to cause serious damage to tree frogs.
The authors of the study did not record the effect of ionizing radiation on the age, chromosomes, and stress hormones of the frogs.
Experts emphasize that frogs in Chernobyl are not particularly immune to radiation.
