In sum: If you believe that less than fifty people died after the greatest nuclear meltdown in history, then I've got a fantastic house to sell you, mansion, pool, hot tub, everything. It's a steal... just outside Fukushima, Japan. Ocean view, stunning. Email me (George).

"The wrong general assumption of a constant linear radiation effect from
high to zero (half a dose, half the effect) is unfortunately even today
still the base of the radiation protection laws, although supralinear
effects in vivo (Petkau effect) are today confirmed on all levels of
live including man."

"Chernobyl's
radioactive contamination at levels in excess of 1 Ci/km2 (as of
1986 -1987) is responsible for 3.8 -4.4% of the overall mortality in areas
of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. In several other European countries
with contamination levels around 0.5 Ci/km2 (as of 1986 -1987), the
mortality is about 0.3 -0.7% (see Chapter II.7). Reasonable extrapolation
for additional mortality in the heavily contaminated territories of
Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus brings the estimated death toll to about
900,000, and that is only for the first 15 years after the Chernobyl
catastrophe. "

"GEORGE MONBIOT:--that so far
the death toll from Chernobyl amongst both workers and local people is
43. Am I--sorry, are you saying you didn't know that they had examined
this--
HELEN CALDICOTT: That's a lie, George. That's a lie."
