I don’t have to prove that someone didn’t die of radiation...hysterical people making wild and ignorant claims do. That’s how science works.

BTW, the answer to my question is ZERO! Despite all reports that workers in the immediate aftermath of the disaster received very high levels of direct exposure to radiation and contamination (there is a big difference), and despite claims that some of those said workers would surely die quickly from acute high radiation exposure, non have. I’m not saying there won’t be some deaths, but thus far all the dire predictions have been wrong. I expect the same to be true over the long term.

Yes, some people MAY suffer effects from increased exposure from this incident (we ALL are exposed to radiation, every minute of every day of our lives), but that does not necessarily correlate to people dying of said exposure.

Radiation can cause thyroid problems in children, HOWEVER, this is very treatable and almost never fatal.

But hey, my brain must not be functioning....must be from all the years I spent working on and operating a nuclear power plant...

One thing is for sure. You are inhumane and have no ability to feel for the people who will suffer from this. You make it clear that they are all just numbers and statistics to you. All good as long as you can keep your job.
