Experiences of demographic changes by Chernobyl accident

For reconstruction of Fukushima

Abstract

Hardly 25 years passed since Chernobyl accident and mankind had to face the aftermath of another nuclear disaster - Fukushima. Even though there were differences between Fukushima and Chernobyl with regard to triggers and technological details but the two events seem to be similar when environmental and social impacts are coming to the fore. Social trends having taken place in the Chernobyl region for more than quarter of a century represent a model to be considered for the assessment of perspectives in the Fukushima region.
