| Apr 14, 2011 at 8:18 | comment | added | MSalters | Even if we'd assume that there was a IAEA-induced bias, in which direction would it be? The IAEA isn't exactly a fan of the RBMK design. | |
| Apr 12, 2011 at 18:46 | comment | added | StaxMan | I would consider WHO reports rather objective, and have never heard evidence or credible suggestions that IAEA or other organizations would have tried to exert their influence. But since it is impossible to prove non-existence of something, what would make sense is to point to some actual credible suggestions there has been coercion; or, assume there is none. | |
| Apr 12, 2011 at 17:49 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | How reliable is the WHO figure, though? Under WHO's agreement with IAEA, while IAEA has no formal say in what WHO does, there is mandatory cooperation. So how do we have confidence that their reports are unbiased? Are there completely independent studies? | |
| Apr 12, 2011 at 15:22 | comment | added | Kostya | "... experience was traumatic and left many with no employment and a belief that they have no place in society" -- I feel that this argument is really dragged in. This was the last years of Soviet. And a lot of people felt that way. Especially those who had any personal problems so they could clearly see that the system doesn't care about them. | |
