How many radiological deaths at Fukishima? Zero!!! How many radiological deaths at Chernobyl? Twenty Eight!!! On scale of release no one is estimated to die from environmental release from Fuskishima as no increase in cancers noted. Chernobyl has a measurable increase of thyroid cancer. Chernobyl was a terrible design with a terrible decision to perform a test most engineers declined to perform. Fukishima occurred due to a greater than expected natural event that caused more damage and death that dwarfs Fukishima accident. My opinion stands.
