Myth and Truth

20 years is a long enough term to objectively estimate the outcomes of the greatest technogenic catastrophe ever. Most of the radionuclides, blown away from the 4th reactor of the Chernobyl Atomic Power Station by the atomic explosion on April, 26, 1986, have already disappeared. Some of them will disappear in the forthcoming decades. But vast territories of Europe will still be dangerous for many centuries. For centuries radiation poisoning will affect the population of many countries, as well as plants, animals and microorganisms. This is why the atomic lobby actively creates a myth about the insignificance of the Chernobyl accident and its consequences. This is why the slogan “It’s time we forgot about Chernobyl” is being proclaimed. The facts that are being ignored by the specialists who are connected with the atomic industry, like IAEA and WHO, serve as the basis for describing the terrible outcomes of the calamity. These tragic outcomes are not only for the ex-Soviet states, but for all of Europe.
