re: #417 ContraryLemming

Yeah, I’m going back to Kiev in November for the sixth time, to work with the journos at the University of Mohyla. The slow, relentless cancer blooms out in the rural areas have claimed something like 200,000 lives. Problem is, the gov’t denies any connection to radiation & Chernobyl, since all the people died of “other causes.” Kind of like the climate change denialists here, they point fingers at anything *other* than the longterm effects of ingesting CE131 or Strontium-90, so as to absolve themselves & the pro “Let’s all go back to the way things were under the Soviets” party of any responsibility.

Am curious now whether the Japanese are starting to dig out the Chernobyl studies since they have their own long-term contamination hazard sitting there and possibly just getting started in spreading fun isotopes into the local biome.
