My Chernobyl Experience About 9 A

چکیده
21st CENTURY Spring–Summer 2006 59 about 50 percent lower than in the average male population of England and Wales (Berrington et al. 2001). Also, in many other population groups which were exposed to low doses of ionizing radiation, a deficit of neoplasmic malignancies was observed. Worst Harm Was to Minds Thus, perhaps surprisingly, one can say that the worst harm to the people exposed to the Chernobyl fallout was caused not by radiation, and not to flesh, but to minds. In terms of human losses (31 early deaths), the accident in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was a minor event, when compared with many other industrial catastrophes. There were more than 10 such catastrophes in the 20th Century, where several hundreds to many thousands died. For example: In 1984, about 20,000 people perished after an explosion at a pesticide factory in Bhopal, India. In 1975, a collapse of the Banqiao dam on the Ru River in China caused 230,000 fatalities. The world does not celebrate the anniversaries of these terrible man-made disasters, but year after year we do so for the Chernobyl accident, which was thousands of time less deadly. And if we look at accidents related to the electricity-production sector alone, the early fatalities in Chernobyl were lower than those from a majority of other energy sources. They were 3 times lower than fatalities from oil-fired power stations, 13 times lower than those from liquefied gas, and 15 times lower than from hydroelectric stations (not including the Banqiao disaster). But the political, economic, social, and psychological impact of Chernobyl was enormous. Let’s look at what happened, starting with my personal experience. The Real Chernobyl Folly
