Original Note:
The Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine, OH is not radioactive, nor had any radioactive material in its manifest. There is no risk to the public of radiation poisoning, like with Chernobyl. https://www.politifact.com/article/2023/feb/15/ohio-train-derailment-what-we-know-about-health-en/ This is more of an environmental or industrial disaster. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/14/ohio-train-derailment-chemicals/ https://www.sciencealert.com/heres-what-the-ohio-train-wreck-really-has-in-common-with-the-chernobyl-disaster
