Yes
The nuclear fallout from Chernobyl contaminated the ground with radioactive particles, making it unsafe for agriculture and causing long-term health risks. It also contaminated surface water sources, leading to restrictions on fishing and drinking water consumption in the affected areas.
The nuclear fallout from Chernobyl contaminated the ground and surface water with radioactive materials, such as cesium-137 and strontium-90. This has resulted in long-term contamination of water sources and ecosystems and poses health risks to humans and wildlife who may come into contact with the contaminated water. Efforts have been made to monitor and mitigate the impact of this contamination.
The nuclear fallout from Chernobyl contaminated ground and surface water with radioactive particles, leading to long-term environmental and health consequences. The contamination continues to affect the ecosystems in the region and poses risks to human health through the consumption of contaminated water and food sources. Efforts such as decontamination and monitoring are ongoing to manage the impact on water resources.
No, while area 51 is adjacent to the Nevada Test Site no nuclear testing has been done there. It is the site used for testing top secret aircraft.Of course area 51 did receive fallout from many of the above ground nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site.
every above ground, surface, or shallow subsurface nuclear test produced fallout. Look up the number of such tests performed and you have your answer.The book Under the Cloud there is a fallout path map for every Nevada Test Site shot that generated fallout. We did not miss any of the continental 48 states and even left some in Canada & Mexico.
Since fallout is created when a nuclear explosion lifts dirt and debris particles into the air and irradiates them, there is no way to 'stop' nuclear fallout from occurring except by never exploding a nuclear weapon on or near the ground. You CAN stop nuclear fallout from reaching you, though, if you have a good strong shelter that is lined with enough dirt or sand (or thick walls and ceilings using many feet of metal and/or concrete), etc.
Every country in the world received some fallout while nuclear weapons were being tested above ground.
Once called the Nevada Proving Ground, 1350 square miles of desert and mountain terrain in Nye County Nevada, the US Department of Energy tests nuclear devices there.
Its the nuclear dust and debris that settles in the air after a nuclear explosion. This then comes down on the ground. Its a mixture of nuclear particles, and debris from the surrounding area. This can cause radiation sickness.

No, however in the 50s & 60s we tested nukes in Nevada. The fallout from these above ground tests did not miss a single state of the lower 48 as well as entering parts of both Canada and Mexico. See the maps in the book "Under the Cloud".
Either:As close as possible to any ground zeroAs far as possible from all ground zeros inside a properly designed and stocked fallout shelter
