Yep, they only counted the deathtoll in the USSR, not even took in account the heavily radiated parts of the EU and to some extend the USA.
Radiation is a silly thing, it travels around the globe if it is expelled in the air as hot particles see Chernobyl and Fukushima and TMI and.....you get the idea me thinks.

Follow up on that article.
To get a sense of just what those tens of millions live at risk of, take a look at these photographs by award winning photographer Paul Fusco. Earlier this month I had a the honor of participating in the fourth Schuneman Symposium held at the Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University. Among the speakers was Fusco, an extraordinary MAGNUM photographer who traveled to the Ukraine to see the legacy of Chernobyl after twenty years. Fusco expected to stay two weeks. He stayed for two months, following parents, children, nurses and cancer patients.“It changed my life. I couldn’t leave. It was so immense in its implications. There is so much damage to so many people in so many ways…” says Fusco. [...]


My first reaction was I was looking at a different race of people because the damage was so incredible.
As is Chernobyl, Fukushima is an ongoing disaster emitting hot particles by the shedload in the air, ground and seawater.


Audit Confirms EPA Radiation Monitors Broken During Fukushima Crisis

The April 19 report by the EPA Inspector General’s Office also casts further doubt on the agency’s already controversial claims that radiation from Fukushima did not pose any public health threat on U.S. soil, said Daniel Hirsch, a nuclear policy lecturer at the University of California (Santa Cruz) and president of Committee to Bridge the Gap.


“On March 11, 2011, at the time of the Japan nuclear incident, 25 of the 124 installed RadNet monitors, or 20 percent, were out of service for an average of 130 days,” the report says. “In addition, six of the 12 RadNet monitors we sampled (50 percent) had gone over eight weeks without a filter change, and two of those for over 300 days,” the report adds, noting that EPA policy calls on operators to change the filters twice per week.

More and more comes up in the open, while you were kept unknown the detection system was broken, only measurements of people of Uni's and private persons showed the real high level of radiation and hot particles dumped in the USA.
