- 143,000 people have been evacuated from contaminated areas of Ukraine
- 600,000 people took part in liquidating effects of the disaster, 100,000 of which already died or are now handicapped
- Cases of leucosis and thyroid cancer exceed average by 2 and 5 times correspondingly among the Chernobyl victims.
- There are 1.8 million people residing on the territories of Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus, which are still defined as contaminated
