• The Chernobyl accident in 1 986 was the result of a flawed reactor design that was operated with inadequately trained personnel and without proper regard for safety,

   * The resulting steam explosion and fire released at least five percent of the radioactive reactor core into the atmosphere and downwind,
   * 28 people died within four months from radiation or thermal burns  19 have subsequently died  and there have been around nine deaths from thyroid cancer apparently due to the accident: total 56 fatalities as of 2 004,
