Now THAT goes contrary to what we've been taught, in terms of the short-lived mutations. Very interesting that the animals live with radiation in them. An extreme way to create a sanctuary for the fauna, but, who'd 'a thunk it? Joe, thank you yet again for interestingly bizarro mundo information.

Makes sense, I've read things on Nuclear Weapon effects while studying politics and have found that they believe there will be people with a mutated gene that will essentially make them immune to high doses of radiation. Only one way of finding out if you have that immunity but I doubt many of us want to play in massive doses of radiation for curiosity's sake.
