~16000 people died from the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
The 573 figure is from the 2012 Yomiuri Shimbun survey, based on "A disaster-related death certificate issued when a death is not directly caused by a tragedy, but by "fatigue or the aggravation of a chronic disease due to the disaster"
An IMO reasonable measure. Sadly the same data will never be available for Chernobyl due to the political reality surrounding the event.
- arcticbull 6y agoI suggest you read the UNSCEAR report. It's collated about 20 years of data into a 600 page report about Chernobyl. I'd suggest it's probably one of the most thorough and detailed such works put together, ever. It covers all manner of chronic disease, excess mortality, and even mental health outcomes of people who believed they were somehow contaminated. That pins the number at 4,000. [1] At your suggestion I'll read the survey you mentioned.
