“…For comparison, the exposed populations had a background occurrence of millions of cancer deaths and much larger natural radiation exposures over the same period. Nevertheless, the chaotic initial response, uncertainties in dose reconstruction, and incomplete health data collection have left many questions unanswered (13,49,86,149,183).…”

“…cit., p. 53. fiindcă spre finele primei decade ale secolului XXI, China rămânea din păcate singura ţară care își mai păstra încă angajamentul de a nu folosi prima armamentul nuclear în situaţia unei confruntări deschise la nivel global. 56 În ceea ce privește Uniunea Europeană și poziţia acesteia faţă de Tratatul de Neproliferare Nucleară, regăsim o viziune stabilă pe care se poate conta la nivel global atunci când vine vorba de susţinerea dezarmării nucleare și de strategia pe termen lung în ceea ce privește implementarea acestui tratat. Însă dacă abordăm ceva mai specific situaţia din punct de vedere intern, și punem în dezbatere poziţia individuală a unor state membre precum Franţa și Germania spre exemplu, nu putem să negăm faptul că avem de a face cu o viziune pronucleară în raport cu una non-nucleară.…”

“…Some researchers suggest risk has been exaggerated and that governmental secrecy after the accident combined with years of inadequate communication between the scientific community and the public have exacerbated rumors fed by public fear of nuclear war and radiation (Rahu, 2003; Shields, 2004). Others have suggested that radionuclide release and exposure was many orders of magnitude higher than reported or assumed, accounting for a variety of observed health effects not expected at lower radiation levels, such as excess infant mortality in Germany, Poland, and the former Soviet Union immediately after the accident and increased prevalence of birth anomalies reported from Central Europe and Turkey (Nussbaum, 2007). These findings are supported by recent case‐control studies of children living near nuclear power stations, who have increased risk of developing solid cancers and especially leukemia (Fairlie, 2009).…”
