Chernobyl’s effect on Europe
“Radiation is no respecter of national boundaries,” says Ian Fairlie, one of the authors of the report.
The study predicted roughly 30,000 to 60,000 cancer deaths by the end of this century related to Chernobyl, which it said was significantly higher than estimates by the WHO and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The report echoed findings by environmental group Greenpeace, which said on Tuesday the death toll from the disaster 20 years ago could be far higher than official estimates, with up to 93,000 extra cancer deaths worldwide.
This is just bad, and today people still work on nuclear weapons, that`s a shame.
Just to think of that bomb explodes and all other countries are deathly afected…..

it is not just developing nuclear weapons, we are also producing electicity from nuclear reactions..i live in Slovenia and not so far away in little city called Kr??ko we have an nuclear plant that produces electricity.. and if something goes wrong there can be a disaster, the whole country can be erased from the earth.. and that is not good to hear.. :I the disaster in Chernobyl, didnt effected our country much but there were some mutant vegetables in our gardens.. all the radiation that went into air was spread all over the europe at that time.. which afflicted our little country also.. i think the world would be much beutiful without nuclear power, altough nuclear energy can be replaced by all sorst of other energies..
