Here’s a curiosity from behind the former Iron Curtain.
The Chernobyl Forum 2003-2005 published a second edition of “Chernobyl’s
Legacy: Health, Environmental, and Socio-Economic Effects” with the subtitle “Recommendations
to the Governments of Belarus, the Russian Federation, and Ukraine”, on the IAEE
site here. The Moorfield Storey Institute
contributed to the report.
James Peron wrote an article for Medium in a column called “The
Radical Center” with title “Chernobyl: What Facts Found”, excerpt here. Despite total desertion of the living
areas, later studies showed that the health effects and cancer were not worse
than from normal air pollution. Thyroid
cancer increased, but thyroid cancer is usually treatable (it was not for Roger
Ebert, remember).
