And don’t forget that the direct death count is in the 30-50 range. The UN says up to 4000 excess deaths over the 60 year post-disaster period. For the worst nuclear disaster. A disaster which can be prevented.
Compare that with the uncountable deaths yearly from coal burning. Which is a disaster that can’t be prevented (except by not doing it). And thats not including climate change. The Chernobyl disaster is nothing compare to the social murder occurring daily in America.
(Not to mention the USSR relocated thousands of people out of the area. Compare that any of the thousands of superfund sites, where there is basically no assistance to leave. And if you do get compensation its after decades of legal battles.)
