- Biological Citizenship: The Science and Politics of Chernobyl-Exposed Populations-

"(...) On the one hand, experts promoted their authority, based in part on their mastery of what composed appropriate evidence of Chernobyl-related injury. On the other hand, there was considerable disagreement at the laboratory level over what the terms for interpreting radiation-induced biological risk in human populations are. International experts' projections about the health effects of Chernobyl often contradicted people's lived sense of those effects. For Ukranian scientists, the lack of consensus at the basic science level meant that the criteria of evaluation of injury were, in essence, contestable."
