No.  4,000 is the expected deaths total.

5,000 total deaths are supposed to be caused indirectly.

54 is how many total deaths there have been so far.

All an all it's a very tame disaster.   It's going to kill around 9,000 people worst case scenario... and the VAST majority is going to be over 20 years later.

Also there hasn't been too much damage to the animals.  If you look at the study i posted, the animals who lioved right near the zone have no genetic damage.  Despite living their entire lives there.

Confused slightly, are you saying 4,000 total or 5,000 total? Either way, from the incident itself and since only 54 people may have died. But radiation and other effect will cause other deaths, yes, they might be a long way down the line but never call it a 'tame disaster', jsut a long drawn out distaster.

Although I'm also confused as to how you can put the word 'tame' to the word disaster, any distaster is anything but tame, especially for the people involved.

 

@slimebeast

the BNP are not the National Party, they are a racist party.

9,000 total.

54 deaths total so far.

A maximium worst case scenario of 4,000 deaths caused by cancer... (though they've later said this number is likely too high due to Russia's just poor healthcre in general.)

and a maximium worst case scenario of 5,000 deaths caused by complications, panic, etc.

 

How can I call it tame?  It's been 20 years, and 54 people have died.  Even if the absolute worst case maximiums end up being the case...

Most of those are going to be on the very tale end of life, people dieing a few years early.  The psychological effects from people overreacting likely did more damage then the actual radiation leak. (Actually what the UN scientists said... and where that additional 5,000 estimate comes from.)

 

Compare it to something like 9/11 where 3,000 people died like, right away.   3,000 people dieng right away is worse then 54 people dieing... then up to 9,000 dieing 20+ years later.
