The LNT
theory?
The amount of natural radiation in different parts of the
world?
The effect of small doses of radiation?
They immediately recall the
repeated statements about hundreds of thousands or millions of victims who died
as a result of Chornobyl.

That's
very true -- but you don't say what can be done about it -- particularly in the
face of continuing support of this myth from many Ukrainian & Belarus
authorities (and even UN's Coffi Annan !). Of course the western media will
continue to quote them -- in preference to statements from UNSCEAR.
IMO,
contradicting the Chernobyl myth today is not unlike what it would have been
like to claim that there were no witches or seamonsters in the Middle Ages, or
that the earth isn't flat & isn't the center of the universe.... in
those days you risked getting burned at the stake -- today you risk losing
credibility with your audience.
