RE: Thyroid cancer: Chernobyl

["Vernig, Peter G." <Peter.Vernig@med.va.gov>]

Bjorn,

I don't remember seeing any number for deaths.  But 597 or something just
under 600 was the number of cases reported in the ten year follow up
studies, I believe.

I heard/saw somewhere not long ago a (low) number for the thyroid cancer 
deaths among "Chernobyl" children. (I don't want to mention the approx. 
number since it may be wrong and also since I don't remember the source - 
let me just say that it was _much_ lower than 1800).
