Chernobyl was taken, but we're going to need a better source than whatever this site is before we start claiming there was an increase in radiation.

Another submission listed https://www.saveecobot.com/en/radiation-maps#11/51.3463/30.1... and there you can click on the map markers for recent history. But that website has no help page and I can't read/understand the sources linked.

I've seen that site linked, but it's highly suspect. The "radiation map" page did not seem to exist before today: https://web.archive.org/web/20220224230609/https://www.savee...

Also, they claim to have "1 million users", and yet only have 22 Twitter followers: https://twitter.com/SaveEcoBot

It smells of a misinformation campaign to me.
