Wow, that’s over 34 thousand children they tested, and 36% of them have abnormal thyroid growths?!
I think it’s an intentional nuke industry tactic to tirelessly insist that no one died, no one died, no one died. The USSR really paved the way for that tactic by refusing to allow doctors to report deaths from radiation (the doctors had to attribute deaths to other causes) for the first 3 years following the explosion of the reactor. Oh the nuke industry knows that deaths and horrible, debilitating illnesses usually take time to develop - but they rely upon the ‘no one died’ meme to lull many sleep and then when deaths are reported, the nuke pimps claim those deaths were unrelated to radiation (hey people get cancer all the time!).
I think its an intentional tactic of the anti nuke power industry to overstate the dangers and impact of accidents.
All while you are burning electricity.
