Let’s discuss several of the most common questions. The first question. How many people
were harmed by this accident? According to official statistics, 638,000 of people were
registered. 187,000 of them were liquidators, and 389,000 were inhabitants of the regions
nearby. The consequences included radiation sickness (ARS), leukemia and thyroid cancer,
especially among teenagers and children.
The second question. Are there really mutants on the territory? World science has been
studying the appearance of genetic defects after radiation for 60 years. The rumors about
the genetic after-effects of the Chernobyl catastrophe are greatly exaggerated. The zone
around Chernobyl looks like a nature reserve, where elks, deer, wolves, foxes wander
around. Biologists studied them and didn’t find a single one with two heads or three tails.
