Se kontaminaation määrä ja aktiivisuus tuolla Tsernobylissä oli ihan älyttömän suuri, eikä sitä vaan pystynyt millään pesulla poistamaan kunnolla edes iholta. Eikä varsinkaan sisäelimistä. Joten en näe syytä, miksei nämä henkilöiden säteily olisi ollut vaarallisella tasolla. Ihan pienenkin kontaminaation puhdistaminen voi olla välillä työn ja tuskan takana nimimerkillä kokemusta on. Onnistuin kontaminoimaan käteni kerran niin pahasti ihan huomaamattomassa tilanteessa hipaistessani kontaminoitunutta komponenttia, että meni toista tuntia pestessä ja hikoiluttaessa kättä, jotta pääsin laitokselta pois.. Kontaminaatio tunkeutuu helposti pienimpiinkin ihohuokosiin.
Top UCLA Doctor Denounces HBO's "Chernobyl" As Wrong And "Dangerous"
"A top US medical doctor who treated radiation victims in Chernobyl has criticized HBO’s depiction of the accident and radiation’s health effects as inaccurate and “dangerous.”
"Gale, who worked for UCLA at the time of the accident, says that the firefighters who suffered from Acute Radiation Syndrome were not contagious, as they are portrayed as by HBO's "Chernobyl."
“Most radiation contamination was superficial and relatively easily managed by routine procedures. This is entirely different than the [1987] Goiania [Brazil] accident, where the victims ate 137-cesium [from an old teletherapy machine] and we had to isolate them from most medical personnel.”
“Lastly, there is the dangerous representation that, because one of the victims was radioactive, his pregnant wife endangered her unborn child by entering his hospital room,” writes Gale.
“First, as discussed, none of the victims were radioactive; their exposures were almost exclusively external, not internal,” writes Gale. “More importantly, risk to a fetus from an exposure like this is infinitesimally small.”

" In 1986, he was asked by the government of the Soviet Union to coordinate medical relief efforts for victims of the
Chernobyl disaster.
[5] In 1987, he was asked by the government of Brazil to coordinate medical relief efforts for the
Goiania accident. In 1988, he was part of the U.S. medical emergency team sent in the aftermath of the earthquake in
Armenia. In 1999 he was asked by the government of Japan to help treat victims of the
Tokaimura nuclear accident. In 2011 Gale was called to Japan to deal with medical consequences of the Fukushima nuclear power station accident. He met with members of the Prime Minister's office on several occasions and has addressed the Diet on 3 occasions. Gale has also been a neutral war observer for the governments of
Croatia and Armenia and a medical consultant to the government of
Tatarstan. Gale has received several awards for his humanitarian activities including the Olender Peace Prize, City of Los Angeles Humanitarian Award and
Myasthenia Gravis Foundation Humanitarian Award."
Voisi kuvitella että tuo kaveri paikalla olleena ja ihmisiä hoitaneena tietäisi mistä puhuu tämän asian suhteen aika vitun hyvin?
