Greenpeace likely counts every cancer death in Russia/Ukraine since Chernobyl, while the direct causes of death are limited to 59, 31 immediately and 21 in the following months (from Wiki). I guess I could have been a bit more clear. Thanks for the comment though.

WHO estimated 4000. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster)

It’s still a lot less than the millions poisoned by coal or will die more extreme weather connected to climate change.
