English term or phrase: fallout
Definition from European Nuclear Society:
Radioactive material which falls back to the earth after the release into the atmosphere (e.g. by nuclear weapon tests, accidents). The fallout occurs in two forms: the close fallout consists of heavy particles which fall to the ground within some days near the place of release and in an area which, depending on the weather conditions, may reach up to several hundred kilometres in the wind direction. The world-wide fallout consists of lighter particles reaching higher atmospheric layers and distributed over a wide part of the earth because of atmospheric currents.

Example sentence(s):
  • Fallout creates large areas of contamination and the ionizing radiation coming off the fallout, which can damage tissues and penetrate through thin walls and glass US Department of Health & Human Services
  • The chemical properties of the different elements in the fallout will control the rate at which they are deposited on the ground. The less volatile elements will deposit first. Wikipedia
  • Weather conditions can affect fallout immensely. Particularly rainfall can "rain out" fallout to create very intense localized concentrations. University of Michigan

Definition from Wikipedia:
Fallout is the residual radiation hazard from a nuclear explosion, so named because it "falls out" of the atmosphere into which it is spread during the explosion.

Example sentence(s):
  • Fallout commonly refers to the radioactive dust created when a nuclear weapon explodes. - Wikipedia  

Explanation:
Çernobil sonrasında da bu tür serpinti oluşmuştu. Patlama sonrası havaya dağılan "nuclear fragments/gases" belli bir süre sonra yere iner. Buna serpinti denir. Çimen, toprak vs üzerine yapışan bu patlama ürünleri hayvanların yemesi veya tarım ile ekolojik döngüye katılmış olur.
