Challenging New York Academy of Sciences to repudiate “Chernobyl Consequences”

…Apparently, Mr. Nader does not frequent Atomic Insights (see, for example Chernobyl Consequences – Myths and Fables Versus Science published in September 2010 or Defusing Misinformation About a “New” Chernobyl Study Before it Has Too Much of a Head Start from November 2010). There is no real surprise there. However, Nader’s point regarding the silent treatment is an important one; a false report that goes unchallenged can develop a life and a cre…

NYAS used as part of campaign to increase unwarranted fear about radiation

…this project on, I realize that the decision to translate and publish the Yablokov Chernobyl Annals volume cannot have been taken in isolation from CEO Ellis Rubinstein who has been in post throughout this period and under whom budget decisions are directed.

…nd excessively protective care.” http://www.iaea.org/Publications/Booklets/Chernobyl/chernobyl.pdf The nuclear industry is in a bit of a mess – some of it self inflicted by very poor communications. However, nuclear technology can enable almost magical improvements in our energy supply picture. In my opinion, the very disruptive nature of the technology is also partly responsible for attracting so many foes – it can upset a whole lot of assumption…

Critical Analysis of Mousseau Fukushima Presentation

…. Alexy Yablokov‘s claim of a million (985,000) deaths from Chernobyl, in “Chernobyl Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment. ” The figure is an extrapolation from their claims of the number of clean up crew who died.
