Introduction: Sorting out the Facts

Few names around the world are better recognized than "CHERNOBYL." And few 
events have evoked greater controversy among scientists, government officials and 
the public. Over the decade since explosions destroyed the nuclear power plant in 
Ukraine, the accident and its aftermath have been studied extensively. Today, there is 
a common understanding among experts about what happened, why it happened and 
the major implications. But to much of the broader public around the world, the 
accident remains an enigma-a phenomenon that is feared, but little understood.

Chernobyl was by far the most devastating accident in the history of nuclear power. 
Radioactive fallout was mainly concentrated in the three former Soviet Republics 
States closest to the plant, but it also came down at lower concentrations over much 
of the entire Northern Hemisphere. What do we now know about the health and 
environmental impacts of this massive discharge of radioactive material?
