Nothing I can reproduce here, unfortunately, it's all word-of-mouth from a
russian friend who knows people working from the russian side of it. :o(
It's true, though, that the mass deaths that were predicted didn't happen.
Huge surges of cancers haven't occured, fortunately.
Cumulative exposure is now the concern, along with radiactive particles
traveling up the food chain.
I'm not doom-mongering, and I'm certainly not going to make wild claims.
However, I think we were lucky. It could have been a lot lot worse.
