For several years now, it has been popular to downplay the aftereffects of the Chornobyl accident. Immediately after the disaster in April 1986, 134 persons developed radiation sickness and 28 people died within four months. These were primarily workers at the nuclear reactor plant and liquidators. But, the large number of deaths from leukemia that some predicted would occur in the exposed general population never materialized. While there was a great deal of anecdotal speculation about a rise in the incidence of newborn malformations, breast cancer, and other health problems in Eastern and Central Europe, scientific studies to date have not demonstrated a relationship between the Chornobyl radionuclide fallout and an increase in any disease other than thyroid cancer.
