Calculations or reality your 250000 dead?
I suspect that for you it is a nuclear lobby site:
According to a United Nations report, the number of unambiguously enumerated deaths, generally occurring shortly after the accident, in 2005 was less than 50. As for deaths that occur years after exposure to radioactivity, we are reduced to calculating the number because we do not have "signature" to identify them.
Twenty years after the disaster, the human toll of Chernobyl therefore remains the subject of fierce debate. A report published by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) in September 2005 thus sparked controversy. This report is the result of a forum in which, from 2003 to 2005, organizations as respected and competent as the WHO (World Health Organization), UNSCEAR, IAEA and FAO participated.
The report puts the number of cancer deaths, actual or future, at 4.000 in the most exposed populations in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. The calculation is based on the assumption that the probability of death due to radioactivity is proportional to the dose. Among the 4000 deaths, 2200 deaths could occur among the liquidators, 1500 among the inhabitants of the most contaminated areas, 150 among the 150 evacuees from the 000 km area
These considerable figures provided by the competent bodies are much lower than certain estimates popularized by the press and television. They are denounced by anti-nuclear movements as part of a campaign of disinformation "insulting the victims".
