‘Radioactive girl’ a YouTube phenom for forays to … Chernobyl!

She even eats a 'forbidden toxic' apple on camera

Newsroom April 28 10:39

Meet “Radioactive girl”, what the Daily Mail calls a “superhero scientist” who ventures into the heart of the Chernobyl exclusion zone to eat the radioactive apples and pose in the doomed reactor’s control room.

The identity of the woman is unknown, as she only goes by the name “vlogger Bionerd”.

See her images below from the site.

Accoding to the Daily Mail and author Elaine O’Flynn, the “…’superhero’ scientist has ventured into one of the most radioactive places in the world – scaling missile defence system towers, getting bitten by ‘radioactive’ ants and eating contaminated apples that have grown on trees close to Chernobyl’s epicentre.

“Anonymous scientist Bionerd has attracted thousands of subscribers to her YouTube channel for her visits into the Chernobyl exclusion zone, the site of a devastating nuclear explosion 29 years ago on April 26, 1986, as she measures the high levels of radiation still lingering in the air.

“Since the disaster the site has been closed off to the world, with Ukrainian scientists agreeing that the area isn’t habitable for humans for at least 20,000 years.

“Despite this, the daredevil researcher claims she has exposed herself to more radiation swimming in the sea and visiting hospital – and says the most scared she’s felt during her six visits was getting dangerously close to a rabid fox and walking by abandoned, dilapidated buildings.”
