Mentioning the recent Chernobyl accident is weird too. Surely an accident from long ago that is expected to be detectable is far more helpful.
All they proved is that nothing had entered since the Chernobyl accident.

Looking for Chernobyl signature in cave during the late 1980s / early 1990s does seem daft - far more likely for them to be looking for residual "trace" from the atmospheric tests that doused the planet in "unnatural" residuals and odd isotopes.

You should look up how many live armed nuclear bombs have been accidentally dropped on mainland US soil.
More significantly, there's been a lot of above ground and atmospheric tests that have draped residuals across the planet, and a bunch of dirty Russian / former USSR sites that drift trace across Europe.
- TBH I'd be surprised if it's still "lost" - not further reported on because [ XXXredactedXXX ] is more likely.

Significantly before in relation to the 5.5 M year claim?

Did they explode in a way that would lead to workers in Romania being able to detect their radioactivity in their cave?
I guess we can say this is when humankind reached adulthood, became able to drink and got a driver’s license. And a gun.
But also, finding something from within the last hundred years doesn’t say an awful lot about something claimed to have been a closed system for millions of years.
