[2] [158] Caesium was released in aerosol form; caesium-137, along with isotopes of strontium, are the two primary elements preventing the Chernobyl exclusion zone being re-inhabited. [159] 8.5 × 10 16 Bq equals 24 kilograms of caesium-137. [159] Cs-137 has a half-life of 30 years. [2] Tellurium-132, half-life 78 hours, an estimated 1150 PBq ...

The total dose from Chernobyl is estimated at 80,000 man-sieverts, or roughly 1/6 as much. [1] However, some individuals, particularly in areas adjacent the reactor, received massively higher doses. Chernobyl's radiation was detectable across Western Europe. Average doses received ranged from 0.02 mrem to 38 mrem (portions of Germany). [1]
The Abstract of the April 2006 International Agency for Research on Cancer report Estimates of the cancer burden in Europe from radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl accident stated "It is unlikely that the cancer burden from the largest radiological accident to date could be detected by monitoring national cancer statistics. Indeed, results ...
