....

I read this report, of course. Want to sound smart again? Well ok, let's prove the opposite again, if you like it

1. Research concerned ONLY research on cancer (or malignant neoplasms) of the thyroid gland. This disease is directly related to damage by iodine isotopes. For general development, it is a short-lived isotope. Accordingly, the impact was not long-lasting, although quite strong. This is just one of the groups of victims whose manifestations began later. The splash shows it. There is a question to this report - from what sources were the data on the defeat of the population taken, from the infected areas, if in the USSR all this information was always hidden, or distorted. Let me remind you that the USSR was a very disgusting state, in Kiev, after the Chernobyl disaster, when radioactive ash was imperceptibly falling on the city, the state forced everyone to go to a mass demonstration dedicated to May 1 .... Well, ok. They took it somewhere, the statistics of the lesion is there, the growth of the disease is visible. The decline is characterized by a "short" period of the life of the isotope of iodine, and, accordingly, a limited time of injury.

2. The accident also resulted in: the release into the environment of radioactive substances, including isotopes of uranium, plutonium, iodine-131 (half-life - 8 days, discussed above), cesium-134 (half-life - 2 years), cesium-137 (half-life - 30 years), strontium-90 (half-life - 28.8 years).
But these "gifts", irradiated people for a longer time. Is there a report about this somewhere? Although I’ll be honest, don’t.
A noticeable, systemic growth, of various kinds of oncological diseases, in the population of Ukraine (I will not say about other countries, I have not studied, I do not have information), is quite noticeable. For example, breast cancer is a surge in a decade and a half, after an accident - an increase of 2-4 times.
Melanoma of the skin - growth after the accident 25% -45%
Continue ? There is also lung cancer, brain cancer, ... This is all also with an increase in manifestations.

3. And a little about chemistry. We have heard about iodine. What can you say about Cesium-137? In short, a quiet, inconspicuous killer. This isotope affects quite large areas to this day. Half-life is 30 years. So, until 2016, he was slowly killing people, giving rise to new foci of malignant neoplasms in them.
If we return to the topic, then, frankly speaking, it makes no difference to me, and I will be against any pollution, be it the consequences of burning coal, be it the risks of nuclear energy, everything is bad, everything kills. But trying to "blur" the eyes and prove the "safety" of nuclear energy will not work, there are facts confirming the danger, especially in the modern world. I repeat once again - it is extremely stupid to try to choose "the best of two piles of shit", in the end, whatever you choose, there will be shit. So it is here - both options are dangerous, and there is no need to hush up and pretend that the "shit" atomic is better

Ah .. well, yes, what is the life of people dying of cancer, if someone is cold in Europe !?
