A Health Disaster Scene Reading the United Nations report on Chernobyl would easily lead you to believe the Chernobyl clean-up workers — aka, the liquidators — suffered at most minimal health effects for their heroic battle against the worst nuclear disaster in history. As the UN’s Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation concluded: “[S]everal hundred thousand people were involved in recovery operations, but to date, apart from indications of an increase in the incidence of leukemia and cataracts among those who received higher doses, there is no evidence of health effects that can be attributed to radiation exposure.” So I set out to acquire all scientific research on the health of the liquidators and found a grim reality far removed from the rosy picture painted by the United Nations. In this video I give an overview of that research: The following is a chronological compilation of all the research investigating the biological health of the Chernobyl liquidators I tracked down. My aim was to acquire all such studies, irrespective of their results so we can determine the balance of results for or against adverse-health consequences. A green check indicates evidence for adverse consequences while a red x indicates no detected health effect. The balance weighs overwhelmingly toward adverse health effects. And lack of detections among the early cancer studies are attributable to the slowness of cancer latency.

It's funny you should mention this. 2 Sunday dinners ago, one of the bright young homeschoolers I've watched grow up wanted to posit that nukes are safe and said Chernobyl didn't kill that many people. Fortunately his much more hip brother corrected him. A fictive uncle's work is never done -- the youngest in the crew said he's studying WW2 in school. I started trying to sell him the truth about the jewth but he just clammed up. Gotta email him some stuff even tho' it will sink beneath the waves without a trace. This overall wonderful family doesn't know what to do with me. Every time they give me some accidental little opening I start dishing it at 'em about Jue power. They just clam up and stare into space..... Dutch people I knew in the 80s said that in Western Europe downwind of Chernobyl, farm produce grew much larger in size after the accident but people were advised not to eat it. (THANKS FOR NOTHING, federal shylocks!!!)
OTOH its been something of a Godsend to European animals with the exception of birds which nest in the smokestacks. Would be interested in how the old people who returned to the area are doing.
How has it benefited the critters?

They aren't hunted and so they thrive. Bear, wolves, etc. which are scarce in most of Europe are plentiful here.
