Plowing the soil with tanks is highly not recommended if the soil is heavily contaminated. This "Red forest" area has been assigned "no go for anyone" ever. None of the Russians had any protective gear, not when the attack started, not now. Even the specialists that came later had no protective gear (reported by the plant operators, so it might be true or not true).

I have worked in a Uranium mine before... It all comes down to intensity and duration, if you are passing through the outskirts, the issue of Radiation is likely inconsequential.

It's still best to avoid, but I think Russia has showcased that it see's it's military as expendable anyway.

There are satellite images that show Russians did a lot of defense digging in north of the Kieve region.

Apparently, Russians did the same in Chernobyl. According to the same sources, many soldier left in panic when first signs of radiation sickness were showing up.
