A side note - I work with developers in Belarus which borders Ukraine and the Chernobyl to the north.
In that process I’ve met many young people who grew up in neighboring villages and small towns who call themselves Chernobyl-baby. Nothing severe, but they all have various minor health issues, apparently.
There was even a humanitarian program that provided summer getaways to some European countries for kids growing up in that region.
I (we) always hear about the Chernobyl disaster, but to see people born 10 years or so later and in a country that many have never heard of gave it a human face to me.
