Re: [Fwd: [DOEWatch] Deadly toll of Chernobyl]

[Vincent.King@DOEGJPO.COM (Vincent King)]

     In a related question, a newspaper account I saw sometime during 
     the last week stated the number of immediate deaths at around 100 
     (which is the first time I remember seeing that number as opposed 
     to the 30+ usually reported).  
     
     Anyone have any idea what the larger number may be based on?

Hi all,

Without starting a big flame war, please, please

Can I have some comments from you all as to whether you think the 15,000
killed number
is reasonable or not, and how some of you can defend the much lower
numbers I've seen in your postings.

Clearly, I'm an anti-nuke power activist, but I also believe in dialogue
and listening.
