Source for what? The risk of fall out? Or what happened with Chernobyl?

That it was close to making Europe uninhabitable

Sure. https://eudocs.net/stories/examining-the-chernobyl-disaster-in-depth-evaluation-and-research-studies/

Basically the efforts to reduce the damage were greatly successful. There still is contamination in the Black Sea, but not significant

The big risk was in the Dnieper river. If more (and certain) particulates had gotten into the supply larger regions around the Black Sea would have been uninhabitable or at great risk

Thanks, that was an interesting read, although I didn't see anything about how Europe was at risk of being uninhabitable.

It’s rare to find an article that directly states it, as it is impossible to prove without a doubt. But there are articles, similar to what was linked that describe fallout being seen in water systems throughout Europe. It also is noted in many places that a large steam explosion through groundwater was avoided and that this would have caused even more significant fallout.

How much fallout in what places, it is impossible. It’s only speculation on worst possible scenario based on what we see now.
