One of Sandy's postings today caught my eye with respect to the

discussion about how many people died as a result of the Chernobyl 

accident:

Russia, also badly affected by the disaster, marked the day with a 

ceremony at a cemetery outside Moscow where thousands of Chernobyl 

victims and "liquidators" are buried.

If this is the case, how can the claim be made that only x amount of

people (~30) died as a result of the accident if there is a cemetery

with "thousands" of people buried there?  This is the first time that I

have heard about it and it seems that it would have come up in the

discussions by now if truth be told.
