In case you all have lost Peter Kuhm's note, there is an excellent
summary of the recent "International Conference: One Decade after
Chernobyl" held in Vienna by IAEA, EC, WHO, et al. I recommend it for
what appears to be succinct summaries of the effects of the accident. The
URL address is:

Visit this site and find out first hand! That's the beauty and
usefulness of the internet!!!!!

"In addition to the 31 deaths reported, 6,000 Ukrainian decontamination
workers and up to 10,000 workers from other republics have also died."

Why haven't these additonal 16,000 deaths been reported in the news media?
