Economic damage - not less than 1 billion US dollars.

Americans have appeared more truthful, than mister Linge. To tell the truth, such scale of accident as our, Chernobyl, they, thank God had not. But they have decided to count, what consequences at their NPPs could be at the severe accident. And not only have counted, but also have published received results. We bring to your attention only small part of these data published in report [66.] (See table 4)

Tab. 4.

Accounts of consequences of hypothetical accidents of one of units on some NPPs in the USA [66].

NPP	Number of deceases, people	Non-cancer illnesses, people.	Cancer illnesses, people	Economic damage, milliards US dollars (1982)
Peach Bottom 3	288.000	45.000	148.000	119,0
San Onofre 2	108.000	23.000	18.000	186,0
Sequoyah-1	116.000	61.000	4.700	96,8
Susquehanna-1	268.000	47.000	28.000	143,0
Three Mile Island -2	184.000	50.000	28.000	122,0
Vogtle 1		39.000	4.000	70,3
Waterford-3	384.000	279.000	9.000	131,0
Watts Bar-1	20.000	11.000	4.000	86,6
Wolf Creek 1	4.000	3.000	3.000	105,9
Oconee 2	56.000	156.000	17.000	146,0
Surry	184.000	36.000	23.000	56,3

Rather essential moment consists in, that these accounts were made by one of the largest governmental nuclear institute in the USA. Hardly they have been interested in overestimating of assessments of possible consequences of hypothetical accidents. It is easier to assume revertive. Nevertheless, the result was tremendous: on many NPPs tens and hundred thousand hardly ill are named and hundred thousand victims. And it at accident only on one of the plants.

Comparing numbers named by us with calculated for the American NPPs, we, first of all, discover, that the death-roll on the American assessments appears considerably bigger, than Chernobyl assessments give (not present anything even close to “Linge” or “Bebeshko” values). With allowance for higher population density in territories, accumbent to the American NPPs, their assessments are quite verisimilar. On number falling ill, our assessments are close to American. The economic damage, fixed by Americans, is in ten times lower (and should be higher). The cause of such toe-out is quite clear. Americans considered damage for one year (our assessments - for 30 years), they took into account only territory of 30-kilometre zone (at us - all contaminated territory) and they did not take into account costs of treatment. If to take into account all of this, their damage also can appear more than Chernobyl.

Attempt has been made to define the general damage already put by all NPPs for all time of their work. On the estimated data, this damage compounds about 600 billion US dollars. Counting upon each unit with power of 1000 MW it is necessary more than one and a half billions US dollars. Rather essential additive cost to each reactor is received.

Certainly, the probability of accident, its scales and consequences are defined by technical performances of the object, situation, relief and population of environing territory, qualification and the responsibility of the attendants and many other objective factors. And so-called «the human factor» appears one of the major in this list. In the plan of “reliability” of this “factor”, all nuclear countries of the world would be possible to place in sequence. If to begin with the least safety countries undoubtedly in group of leaders would come Ukraine, Russia, Belarus (if it will appear among nuclear countries). Somewhere furthers from number of most „hazardous», there would be France, the United States, the Great Britain and Germany. And, most likely, country with very high level of the responsibility of people - Japan would close this list. In this country any accidents in service of so the composite technique should not be at all. Therefore it would be very interesting to glance in this country and to attempt to slightly open the screen of privacy created by atomic lobbyists
