Almost all are in Ontario and east - in Quebec and New Brunswick.

But nuclear fallout doesn't confine itself to provinces. The Chernobly incident occurred not
because of an earthquake, but during testing of its reactors. How many dead ? 140,000.
---------------------------

Another report by the Center for Independent Environmental Assessment of the Russian Academy of
Sciences found a dramatic increase in mortality since 1990—60,000 deaths in Russia and an
estimated 140,000 deaths in Ukraine and Belarus—probably due to Chernobyl radiation.

Seventy percent of the radioactive fallout from Chernobyl landed in Belarus, affecting more
than 3,600 towns and villages, and 2.5 million people. The radiation contaminated soil, which
in turn contaminates crops that people rely on for food. Many regions in Russia, Belarus and
Ukraine are likely to be contaminated for decades.
Radioactive fallout carried by the wind was later found in sheep in the UK, on clothing worn by
people throughout Europe, and in rain in the United States.
