No. Not even close. The workers and first responders who fought and subdued the raging fire in the exposed reactor core did the dangerous part. Over 30 of them died as a result and many suffered from radiation sickness.The radioactivity in the smoke from the 10 day fire rose high and was spread by the wind over 3 countries where most of it came down as fallout. Even though there was several tons of fission products and other nasty stuff in the fallout, it was spread out so thinly that the direct radiation from it was inconsequential. Only Iodine 131, which was concentrated several times by the pasture - cow -milk- child-thyroid gland route caused any cancers and it took up to 6 years for them to show up. All but 15 of the thyroid cancer cases were successfully treated. Chernobyl was the worst case scenario for radioactive fallout. It would take a thermonuclear war to be worse.Europe is more likely to be made uninhabitable by being smothered by the windmills, solar panels, and waste from the coal power plants and coal mines. The radiation phobia is not based on science, just propaganda. Please read http://nuclear4life.com .
