Challenging NYAS Decision to Keep Yablokov’s Chernobyl Fiction Online

ByRod Adams

…by Greenpeace and written by a co-founder of Greenpeace Russia, Alexey V. Yablokov. Using scientifically unsupportable techniques, Yablokov claimed that hundreds of millions of people had been exposed to radiation from the Chernobyl accident and close to a million had already died as a result of that exposure. Several months after the book was published, Ted Rockwell, a long time member of the NYAS began a letter writing effort to convince his or…

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

ByRod Adams

…The Chernobyl Catastrophe: Consequences on Human Health and author Alexei Yablokov was highly involved in that volume. In his Preface to the book, Yablokov refers to the background work by Greenpeace and others. Most of the content and most of the sources cited are the same, I believe. There were some updates between the Greenpeace Report and the NYAS Annals volume but otherwise nothing substantially changed, I believe. Thus, notwithstanding the…

Critical Analysis of Mousseau Fukushima Presentation

ByGuest Author

…ublished a scathing review of this volume by Mikhail I. Balonov who wrote, Yablokov’s assessment for the mortality from Chernobyl fallout of about one million before 2004 puts this book in a range of rather science fiction than science. Finally there was also present Arnie Gundersen who not to be outdone by the superlative claims of Caldicott, Yablokov, Mangano, and Sherman, has also claimed Fukushima will result in a million deaths. So far no one…

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

ByRod Adams

…d they disagree in whole or in part or were they just silent?” Academician Yablokov replied that the compilation of these many reports has been met with silence. He added that science means critical engagement with the data and implied that silence was not an appropriate response from the scientific community. Silence, of course, is not without its purpose. For to engage, whether to rebut, doubt or affirm, would give visibility to this compendium…

The Left Needs to Reconsider its Automatic Position Against Nuclear Energy

ByGuest Author

…Hunziker) that a million have died from Chernobyl is based on a report by Yablokov, et al. that was printed, foolishly, by the NY Academy of Sciences in December 2009. The authors arrived in part at their imaginary figure by attributing every death that occurred to the radiation from Chernobyl, as though suddenly all other causes of death stopped for the time being. The NYAS has been taken to task by many of its members and has been embarrassed f…

False media balance – radiation health risks contrasted against climate change

ByRod Adams

…would have – out of a population of several million? Or do you think that Yablokov and his Chernobyl Consequences book that Helen Caldicott promotes so heavily is correct in his claim that there have already been almost a million deaths caused by the accident? Do you agree that the science shows that the probability of zero deaths from exposure to the radioactive materials that leaked from Fukushima approaches 100%, though there is some uncertain…

Smaller nuclear power plants can be beautiful, despite the opposition of the UCS

ByRod Adams

…never believed in a beneficial effect of radiations, he’s complaining that Yablokov rejects the dose-effect and claims there’s no correlation between illness and the received dose of radioactivity (page 2 of the report) The most damning text against Yablokov is the book itself, claiming we don’t need “standard errors”, “confidence intervals”, “case control,” strict scientific protocols, that we can not determine how much fallouts there was but the…

Chernobyl Consequences – Myths and Fables Versus Science

ByRod Adams

…ricanes (no jokes!), small dose effects, etc. But! The problem is that Dr. Yablokov was a real scientist, he is a corresponding member of Russian Academy of Science. He had been awarded a long ago as a ocean biologist or something like that, and this title is a lifelong. So now he is aged enough for the real science, but not for his anti-nuclear crusade. And his high sci title works for him and opens the door in media and publishing houses. This f…
