It may have to be big, but it would only be a fraction of the size of the areas contaminated by radiation from our nuclear power stations over the years.
It's actually quite funny that people believed the government when they said the radiation from Chernobyl had contaminated sheep and cattle in Cumbria...news to everyone, that leak came from Sellafield (which used to be called Windscale, until it got such a bad name due to leaks). It was just very convenient for the government that a nuclear power station had just blown up in Russia, so they could blame it instead.
