You’ve forgot the 100.000 who died after Chernobyl on cancer caused by the long term radiation. You’ve forgot the thousands of children who died shortly after birth within the last 25 years because of their malformations.
Have you got a link with those figures?

Fifty deaths, all among the reactor staff and emergency workers, are directly attributed to the accident.
Estimates of the total number of deaths attributable to the accident vary enormously. Despite the accident, Ukraine continued to operate the remaining reactors at Chernobyl for many years. The last reactor at the site was closed down in 2000, 14 years after the accident.

....
Of the 72,000 Russian Emergency Workers being studied, 216 non-cancer deaths are attributed to the disaster, between 1991 and 1998. The latency period for solid cancers caused by excess radiation exposure is 10 or more years; thus at the time of the WHO report being undertaken, the rates of solid cancer deaths were no greater than the general population
Proof?
MORE FROM THE Wikipedia source, which cites UN and IAEA data ( see post #29 above ) regarding health effects and birth defects.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
UNSCEAR has conducted 20 years of detailed scientific and epidemiological research on the effects of the Chernobyl accident.
Apart from the 57 direct deaths in the accident itself, UNSCEAR originally predicted up to 4,000 additional cancer cases due to the accident.[73]
However, the latest UNSCEAR reports suggest that these estimates were overstated.[74]
In addition, the IAEA states that there has been no increase in the rate of birth defects or abnormalities, or solid cancers (such as lung cancer) corroborating UNSCEAR’s assessments.

Holy crap!!! Quit watching horror movies.
Research those ridiculous statements and get back to us, if you can stand the humiliation.
Less that a hundred deaths, all workers, no noticable increases in cancers.
Geez, Louise, get a grip.
Stop spreading that ridiculous 100,000 number. Not even a small fraction of that number died because of Chernobyl. You might want to actually read the article this thread is based on that gives the true number of Chernobyl deaths.
Your wrong. I’m sure it was more than 14 billion that died from Chernobyl.
“You’ve forgot the 100.000 who died after Chernobyl on cancer caused by the long term radiation”
I assume your decimal point is supposed to indicate a figure of 100,000. That’s insane.
