Just for your information: That "Chernobyl killed less than 100 people" is wrong:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_due_to_the_Chernobyl_disaster
It is also totally unhonestly framed in order to trick you. "less than 100 people died in 1986", but it ignores that most deaths will be due to cancer a few years later. So fuck this guy spreading propaganda bullshit.
It is not wrong. As I have already posted, although the 2005 report of the Chernobyl Forum concluded with expected 4000 excess deaths after the event itself, the used model (LNT) is highly contested and with the dosages most people were exposed to not useful.
It is expected that all in all fewer than 100 people will die because of chernobyl (including the ~50 people killed by the explosion and the ASR right after it).
fuck off germ
