Luckily a great many things don’t render land inhabitable for centuries.

Fair enough. I assumed you meant more casualties than the environmental effects, which is my bad.

(though it is inhabitable even now in most places, with radiation levels having dropped dramatically in most of the exclusion zone, just... not recommended. Long-term cancer risks and all that - living there would be like working as a coal miner, which is obviously undesirable to deal with)

There are regions throughout Europe, all the way into Germany, where you can't safely eat wild mushrooms, and certain wild animals to this day due to contamination from Chernobyl.
