“There are still no clear answers why so many kids born outside the exclusion zone well after Chernobyl are sick”
More interesting facts from CNN with no sourcing or expert opinion:
Title: 26 years on: helping Chernobyl’s children
Source: CNN
Author: Katie Walmsley
Date: 5:53 PM EDT, Wed April 25, 2012
[...] The radiation effects of the April 26, 1986, reactor explosion were [...] nearly 14 times greater than the disaster last year at the Fukushima plant in Japan.
Fast forward to today, and even in the exclusion zone, plants have re-grown, animals are flourishing and Chernobyl has been opened to tourists. [...]

The bigger the lie…. The more believable it becomes to people who worship the idiot box named TV and suck in without question propaganda in newspapers. TV being far more effective as newspaper circulation is fading rapidly.
Most people prefer good news even when they wonder if it is a big lie. They don't want to deal with the truth.

An exclusion zone is an imaginary boundary created by man, not nature.
The hydrologic cycle is a constant movement of water above, on, and below the earth's surface. It is a cycle that replenishes ground water supplies. It begins as water vaporizes into the atmosphere from vegetation, soil, lakes, rivers, snowfields and oceans-a process called evapotranspiration.

Not including wind, atmospheric pressures, pollination, etc.
I must watch my temper, alcoholism and poverty are not the cause of the Chernobyl victims as the propaganda suggests. Misleading persuasive suggestion.
Fukushima only 7% as bad as Chernobyl? Really? Even with that totally unrealistic number that is still 70,000 people, low ball. That is P E O P L E.
Report Comment
CB writes: "with that totally unrealistic number that is still 70,000 people, low ball. That is P E O P L E."
SP: The nuclear cabal pressured the Royal Academy of Sciences to disavow the reports detailing an estimate of 980 thousand deaths. Only 50 died according to the nuclear cabal. They have fostered that lie and 99% of naked apes who watch TV believe them. The bigger the lie principle is that people accept disinformation as the truth because they have zero desire to distrust the mass media. So far anyway.

@cb – '70,000 people'
thanks CB to remind us of that.
don't you just love the way the nukers fudge numbers and , like, hey it's not 140,000 it's only 70,000, what's the problem?
i've had an argument on another site .. just because i've mentioned 30 million are threatened at tokyo – then this guy starts arguing that there are not 30 million in tokyo. Of course, he skips the fact that a whole major city is threatened with death and evacuation and gets pedantic about numbers.
Whether it's 10,000 or 10 million, it's doesn't matter – the mob.corp.gov are killing the flora.fauna.earth
They must be stopped. I will do my best to keep arguing that point far and wide. The nukers must be stopped – end of story.
And let's not forget – Uranium mining needs to be stopped immediately as well… stop the mining, you stop the ongoing, continued destruction of earth.

"Fukushima only 7% as bad as Chernobyl "
Give it some time !
Report Comment
It's already worse than 7%, by a long shot. The Japanese government is covering up the illnesses by controlling the release of hospital statistics after demanding that doctors can only treat certain symptoms as something common, such as stress, so that they aren't kept as statistics. But CNN accepts the Japanese government handout version without investigating the matter on their own and arriving at an independent conclusion. CNN is corporate garbage, showing what they're told to show.
Report Comment
There was simply more nuclear material onsite to begin with at Fukushima than Chernobyl…
More reactors(and burning spent fuel pools) are involved in a meltdown situation.. more sources for radioactive release.
7%..sounds like a worked up .supposedly obscure number.
Report Comment
And the news focus on Fukshima Daiichi is obscuring information about the many other nuclear facilities in Japan in meltdown.

Also remember that the radioactive fallout such as cesium around Chernobyl is not acting/behaving as it "should", it is defying established science and is refusing to decay as it ages.

The popular scientific belief before the 90's was that chromosomal and genetic damage caused by radiation exposure would not be carried forward to the next generation.
Unfortunately this belief has been shown to be false in the populations of Kyshtym and Semiplatinsk in the old USSR. There first generation damage has been past on to the second generation and because these two areas are still contaminated this passed down damage is then added to by continued exposure so that the damage from the first generation and the added damage from the second generations exposure are now being passed on to the third generation and so it will go on.
This accumulation of genetic damage was never expected and its effects have yet to be studied in any real detail.

"THE genetic effects of ionizing radiations have now been studied extensively in a wide variety of systems. The study of their cumulative effects in populations has also been given increasing attention in recent years although, because of experimental difficulties, on a more restricted number of organisms. The effect
of radiation on a population will be to alter its genetic constitution and, therefore, presumably, to affect the biological fitness. …”

"The greatest threat of radioactivity to life as we know it is damage to the gene pool, the genetic make-up of all living species. Genetic damage from radiation exposure is cumulative over lifetimes and generations.
"Even low-dose exposures are carcinogenic after extended exposure. The current generation, the one in utero, and all that follow may suffer cancers, immune system damage, leukemias, miscarriages, stillbirths, deformities, and fertility problems. While many of these health problems are on the rise, individuals cannot prove either increase in "background" radiation or specific exposure as the cause. Only epidemiological evidence is scientifically acceptable to impute cause. Perhaps the most extreme outcome over time would be simply the wholesale cessation of the ability to reproduce. Radiation is a known cause of sterility…."

strange how they can determine how Fukushima is 7% as bad as Chernobyl after some results of radiation monitoring outside the exclusion zone in Fukushima were much higher than the readings of inside the Chernobyl exclusion zone.
Also strange how Chernobyl was located in a sparsely populated area, while Fukushima is not. Also strange that the result of how big Fukushima will be is yet to be determined as it is still ongoing. Equally strange how everyone seemed to be eager to determine how Fukushima was and is so much less dangerous than Chernobyl. I remember well how the Japanese government tried desperately to not upgrade the severity to level 7 (which incidentally is the highest level and equal to Chernobyl).
When will be both accidents be over? in approx 20000 years I guess. Until then I would prefer it if it was not quantified in percentages of each other.

Oh, and CNN sucks. I wonder why Anderson Cooper (for whom I used to have some respect)went to Fuku and immediately withdrew. I'd bet there is a story there. Pulled out b/c he was going to spill the beans?
Happy anniversary Earth, your vines and trees and flowers persist but the wild boar in Germany are today still inedible and radioactive, as are the sheep in Norway and Finland.And the children of Chernobyl are each and everyone of us, some more affected than others.
And certainly a moment of silence and prayer for those brave souls who lost their lives and their children's lives by fighting the good fight minutes at a time building the concrete sarcophagus that still leaks and cannot be stopped. A valiant effort by many, all of whom are dead, and many survivors very sick. For generations.
perhaps more than a silent acknowledgement, each of us left with a voice to scream ought to do just that, into the ears of our governments, legislators, care givers, hospitals and pharmacuetical reps, into the ears of the military and corporate world…to stop the craziness that will lead us all into complete and utter annihilation.
Thyroid cancer from radiation exposure takes thrity years to manifest in adults and teens, only months in small children. And with ingestion, internal contamination not just exposure, no one has any clue. Most of all the NPP industry shills.

SP: It's because he and his Tonto sidekick WERE full of beans… Radioactive beans. They stayed too long the first week. And fleeing in a plane they sucked in the MOX plume from Unit 3 explosion. Far worse inhalation of plutonium than the USS Ronald Reagan crew. They are all (CNN crew and 6,000 strong Navy crew) walking time bombs from the plutonium exploding the DNA in their lungs. Can't remove the embedded plutonium without a lung transplant. Maybe the nuclear cabal will get some poor China citizen to sell them one. Famous folks need a helping hand..
