Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6According to a report by Greenpeace citing demograhic data they reckon that 200,000 people appear to have already died in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. And they also reckoned that the total number of directly attributable cancer cases in that region was set to soar to 270,000 with about 93,000 of these likely to be fatal.
The report also looks into the ongoing health impacts of Chernobyl and concludes that radiation from the disaster has had a devastating effect on survivors; damaging immune and endocrine systems, leading to accelerated ageing, cardiovascular and blood illnesses, psychological illnesses, chromosomal aberrations and an increase in foetal deformations.
programme about duncan stewart returning to chernobly tonight @ 10.15
The dreadful egotistical bore who is going to preach at us tonight will probably cause more deaths by narcolepsy than the handfull of people proven to have been killed as a consequence of the accident itself
Oh dear oh dear!
Terence seems to actually believe Greenpeace. Doesn't Terence know that nothing whatsoever that Greenpeace says can be believed (Most reputable environmental groups. such as Earthwatch, regard GP as an embarrassment)
The UN did a study, using proper scientific methodology, of the present and projected consequences to human health of the Chernoble accident. It was recently published. It suggests that deaths, congenital defects, and future health damage (cancers etc) are all much less severe than feared, and that talk of thousands of cancers and widespread genetic damage are not born out by the facts. Congenital defects in the population most affected by the accident are statistically negligible over and above what might have been expected in a population not exposed to elevated radiation levels.
On the other hand, GP reached its conclusions without doing any study whatsoever!
PHOTO ESSAY
From 2-7 March 2006, UNICEF held a photo workshop for children aged 12 to 17 from each of the three countries hardest hit by the disaster: Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Renowned photographer Giacomo Pirozzi worked with the 12 children - four from each country - who were all from Chernobyl-affected families. After an introduction to photographic techniques, the children went on location in Belarus to capture images of life after Chernobyl. Those from the Russian Federation and Ukraine subsequently went on location in their own countries. The photos taken by the children form an exhibition for the International Conference on Chernobyl in Belarus, April 19-21.

Neutron - If you had bothered to research the area properly you would know that the UN report to which you referred to was based on lies peddled by the IAA which has unashamedly sought to cover up the horrific human and envronmental toll from Chernobyl for its own selfish ends.
