United Nations / UNSCEAR Reports on Chernobyl

WPROST story on the "Chernobyl Bluff"

"CHERNOBYL 
THE GREATEST
BLUFF
of the
20th CENTURY"

"Whereas, in fact, the accident in Chernobyl nuclear reactor does not represent one of the largest 20th century tragedies, the explosion did not kill thousands of people, nor did it heavily contaminate for hundreds of years enormous areas of land. Moreover, radiation doses to which the populations in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus have been exposed, had nearly no impact on their health - these people do not suffer more frequently from leukemia, nor do they give birth to more children with genetic defects."
