The Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident happened on April 26, 1986. We investigated the cause of the striking increase in frequency of thyroid cancer in children who lived within a 150 km radius of Chernobyl and who were born before and after the accident. No thyroid cancer was seen in 9472 children born in 1987-89, whereas one and 31 thyroid cancers were recorded in 2409 children born April 27, 1986, to Dec 31, 1986, and 9720 born Jan 1, 1983, to April 26, 1986, respectively. Short-lived radioactive fallout caused by the Chernobyl accident probably induced thyroid cancer in children living near Chernobyl.
1986年4月26日发生了切尔诺贝利核电站事故。我们调查了居住在切尔诺贝利半径150公里范围内、事故前后出生的儿童甲状腺癌发病率显著增加的原因。1987 - 1989年出生的9472名儿童中未发现甲状腺癌，而在1986年4月27日至1986年12月31日出生的2409名儿童以及1983年1月1日至1986年4月26日出生的9720名儿童中，分别记录到1例和31例甲状腺癌。切尔诺贝利事故产生的短寿命放射性尘埃可能诱发了居住在切尔诺贝利附近儿童的甲状腺癌。
