I had given several websites where the Independent / UN expert team study results on the Chernobyl accident and the after effects have been published. Rediff.com dos not allow Net links to be written in this column. It is unfortunate.
Anyway, if there has been continued cancer deaths, do you think news agencies like BBC( which have free access now) would not have gone there to show a big episode ? After all they run with camera whereever even one accident death is there or wherever there is one police firing( as if in the whole world, there are no news other than terrorism, flood, riots, shoot outs, etc) !
So, please do not go by media reports. The gap between the media reports and the truth is much wider compared to that between the Official version and the truth. So, please beleive in Official version, more so, in the case of Nuclear Power, for reasons explained in my earlier reply.
