Re: Consequences of Chernobyl in Belaru



     This could mean that the NRC and FEMA should rethink the current 10 
     mile EPZ for exposure around our nuclear power plants.  Or not, based 
     on our belief that our power plants have containments, and Cernobyl 
     had a Butler Building.

Consequences of Chernobyl in Belarus
     
More than 220,000 Belarussians have suffered physical ailments and almost a 
quarter of Belarus remains contaminated as a result of the 1986 nuclear 
accident at Chernobyl, according to a new government report.
     
Leukemia cases along Belarus' southern border with Ukraine, an area with 1.8 
million people, nearly doubled in 1995 from the previous year, following an 
upward trend that began in the late 1980s, Interfax said. Many of the sick are 
those who lived in an 18-mile zone around the plant.
     
Ukraine's Health Ministry said more than 125,000 people had died by 1994 as a 
result of the accident.
