A member asked:
What will happen to me if i lived in the chernobyl nuclear power plant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rapid mortality: Radiation kills in the short run by shutting down blood production. This was a cause of death at hiroshima among those who did not die from the immediate heat and blast but were exposed to high radiation doses. There is lots of natural life around chernobyl and it is now a place for investigation of how life adapts to such exposure.
