Going to have to display my ignorance again here. Could those same cancers

have occurred from the known iodine deficiency in the population, and not

have been diagnosed previously because it wasn't a matter of concern before

the event?

The false premise of radiation hazards from nuclear power, 'dirty bombs,

etc. is becoming ever more clear. :-) Let's remember that NO ONE in the

public was injured or killed by CHERNOBYL, with NO evacuation, compared to

the hysterical consequences claimed by the regulators and politicians!

To this generally sympathetic semi-naive observer, the thyroid cancer echo

of Chernobyl seems pretty well established.  My understanding is that there

have been a few deaths.  Further, thyroid cancer itself seems pretty clearly

to qualify as an injury.



Best regards.
