The exact number of deaths from Chernobyl-related cancers is difficult to determine with certainty, but based on the available information:
1. Immediate fatalities: 30 deaths occurred in the short term, including 2 workers killed in the initial explosion and 28 emergency workers who died from acute radiation syndrome within months[1][2].
2. Thyroid cancer: At least 9 children died from thyroid cancer attributed to the accident[1][2]. By 2005, about 4,000 cases of thyroid cancer had been reported, mainly in children and adolescents[1].
3. Long-term cancer deaths: The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) estimated that by 2065, about 16,000 thyroid cancer cases and 25,000 other cancer cases may be expected due to radiation from the accident[3].
4. Total projected fatalities: International experts have estimated that radiation could cause up to about 4,000 eventual deaths among the higher-exposed Chernobyl populations, including emergency workers, evacuees, and residents of the most contaminated areas[1][2].
It's important to note that these numbers are projections and estimates. The actual number of cancer deaths directly attributable to Chernobyl radiation is challenging to determine due to the difficulty in distinguishing between radiation-induced cancers and those occurring naturally in the population[1][2].
