Scientific consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe
While there is a large consensus about the ongoing devastating environmental, social, political and economic consequences of the disaster, the International Atomic Energy Agency opens its own conference in Kiev with the aim of downplaying the consequences of Chernobyl.
The Chernobyl disaster will continue and nobody will ever know the true extent of the damage to people and the environment. However, we do know enough to completely reject the slightest risk of this happening again!
Rethinking the catastrophe was the motto of the first day of the conference in Kiev. More than 400 people took part in the opening of the conference in the 'House of the Teacher' on Sunday, 23 April.

The Greens publish a short paper on nuclear power which is dangerous, linked to weapons, a terrorist target, dirty, expensive, inefficient, outdated, in decline and unwanted!
Twenty years after the nuclear disaster, an independent scientific evaluation of health and environmental effects provides critical analysis of a recent report of the International Atomic Energy Agency and the World Health Organisation.
