[Leica] Magnum documentary on Chernobyl

[benedenia at gmail.com (Marty Deveney)]

I've been in there twice Ted.  It's not much more dangerous in terms
of radiation exposure than spending a lot of time on high altitude
aircraft.  I met a couple of the people who live in there who refused
to leave; while some have died others seem fine.  The health risks
associated with radiation exposure are a lot more complicated than
first thought.
