London - A team of British scientists has helped produce a radioactivity-free vodka called"ATOMIK" from crops near the site of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the University of Portsmouth said on Thursday.

After the accident, a 30-kilometre exclusion zone was established around the plant. Commercial farming is still banned both there and in a wider surrounding area.
