From the same book,
Sto Velikikh Katastrof (The 100 Greatest Catastrophies), p. 430:
According to official statistics, the Chernobyl disaster led to 32 deaths. In April, 1991, Soviet scientist Vladimir Chernyshenko reported that at the very least, from 7 to 10,000 people died as a result of the Chernobyl disaster.

During seven years of nuclear production, wastes were handled in the simplest of ways - just dumped in the Techa and Iset' rivers. Later on, wastes were dumped into Lake Karachai.
