What has to been done to clean up the land around chernobyl?

Cleaning up the land around Chernobyl has involved several measures, including the construction of the New Safe Confinement structure over Reactor No. 4 to contain radioactive materials and prevent further contamination. Decontamination efforts have included the removal of topsoil, the disposal of contaminated debris, and the establishment of exclusion zones to limit human access. Ongoing monitoring of radiation levels and ecological studies are also essential to assess the long-term impacts on the environment and public health. Despite these efforts, large areas remain uninhabitable due to lingering radiation.
