Yablokov warned that a million or more have died from Chernobyl

As Chernobyl's 35th annual commemoration approaches on April 26, 2021, it is important to remember Alexey Yablokov's warning, that nearly a million premature deaths could likely be attributed to the nuclear catastrophe, and that just between the years 1986 to 2004 (there will have been many more deaths since then). See this link for more information: <http://www.beyondnuclear.org/home/2011/4/14/chernobyl-a-million-casualties-april-23.html>.

Yablokov published the shocking figure in his book, Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment. See this link for more information: <http://www.beyondnuclear.org/radiation-health-whats-new/2011/6/1/lynn-ehrle-promotes-chernobyl-consequences-of-the-catastroph.html>.

Yablokov, an environmental advisor to Russian President Boris Yeltsin, warned at a National Press Club press conference in Washington, D.C., alongside Beyond Nuclear's Cindy Folkers, and Friends of the Earth's Erich Pica, that Fukushima could prove more deadly and harmful than Chernobyl in the end, for such reasons as the population density of Japan exposed to the hazardous radioactivity, the proximity of Fukushima to the ocean, etc. See this link for more information: <http://www.beyondnuclear.org/home/2011/3/25/alexey-yablokov-press-conference-today-watch-on-c-span.html>. The press conference had been planned months in advance, to mark the 25th anniversary of Chernobyl -- but as fate would have it, the Fukushima catastrophe began two weeks earlier, so that dominated the discussion.
