Re: Chernobyl remembered - article

[maury <maury@WEBTEXAS.COM>]

At least so far this is the first propagation of this 15 to 30 thousand deaths fairy tale that I have noted for the 16th anniversary of Chernobyl. Here is a French news agency release picked up in an Australian news web site

which claims: " An estimated 15,000 to 30,000 people have since died." It is sad enough that about 100 people lost their lives in this disaster without the gratuitous unattributed claim of thousands more having perished. Surely

it would be interesting to learn exactly how this "estimate" was made and by whom? Norm, can you shed any light on this? You posted the article on Radsafe as well as on Salem and Know Nukes - do you personally afford this claim

any credibility?

Sincerely,

Maury Siskel           maury@webtexas.com
