The specs on the two cameras, however, show the lower-resolution version to be faster: 1.4 seconds per capture for the H3DII-39 over 1.1 seconds for the H3DII-50. That could simply be implementation-specific, though.
Indeed, 1.4 seconds is a very long time to not move. Only useful for objects and scenery, certainly not going to do people or wildlife.
The times refer to saving the photos, not exposing them.
Me and few of my friends went to Chernobyl last year. The radiation levels there are indeed not that bad in general but the amount varies greatly within small distances and thus a guide with a Geiger counter is more than necessary. However, there was no place that badly radiated that any plants wouldn't survive there and the nature was really lush there so I'm certain that animals liked it there too. Even the abandoned town of Pripyat, which was hit quite badly by the radioactive falloff, had trees and greenery growing everywhere and there even was a small birch growing on a balcony in the top floor of an old hotel. In terms of radiation we probably were more exposed to it during our flight from Helsinki to Kiev than in our one day trip to the exclusion zone. And if we were to live in the town of Chernobyl (around 200-300 people still live there today even though the last reactor was shut down in the year 2000) we would probably be as safe there as in some residential area here in Finland with radon-rich soil.
All in all, I don't think it's that much about adaptation anymore.. In its natural state the area would be dense forest and thanks to the low amount of human interference that's what it's slowly turning out to be again.
This article was really lacking in details. No link to the mod's website, no mention of what tools they are using.
The website was linked in the end of the article, along with a direct download link to the mod in the beginning. Also, in the first sentence it is written that the total conversion was for Max Payne 2. Max Payne games use their proprietary game engines by Remedy Entertainment
Bethesda Softworks bought the Fallout IP some time ago and there were Fallout 3 teaser posters at E3 last year. I hope that Bethesda can produce a worthy successor to the greatest CRPG games ever.

So, let's try what you just did with five thousand dollars worth of software.
;)
Photoshop is definitely worth five thousand dollars but luckily it only costs around 600$
