RE: TIL: Radiation Eating Fungus found at Chernobyl
I am dubious whether high levels of radiation are survivable but lower levels, and with water around, clearly it can be. Paul stamets wrote about how there is many fungi that help sequester and neutralise radionucleides. I am sure there is organisms that can clean up anything. There must be, because otherwise the planet would still be dirty on the outside. Biochemistry research has found many useful products can be made from toxic materials using bacteria and fungi.
