missing articles and grammatical errors

The entry is written with many missing articles and grammatical errors.

>According to Technical Report

should read according to the technical report.

>burning radioactive material is creating airborne particles.

should read burning radioactive material creates airborne particles.

>After Chernobyl disaster large amount of material was exposed to fire

should read After the Chernobyl disaster a large amount of material was exposed to fire

>also containing isotopes I-131 and Cs-137 (Chernobyl radioactivity), emitting gamma radiation that can penetrate from human body

should read from a human body / can emanate from a human body

I would surmise the article has been written by someone who is not a native English speaker, and thus contains such errors. Whist it is great that someone has taken the time to write and/or contribute to the English entry, these errors should be corrected in order to make the entry more readable to the English speaking reader.

I do not feel it is my place to do so, thus I prefer someone with better linguistic skills than my own attempt to correct them.

Accuracy and fiction

The description seems largely based on the TV series and or the book by Alexievich. For example, the estimate that he received 1600 roentgens. As far as I know, this number only shows up in the book where Lyudmila states she was told he received that does. But she also states that the baby's liver received 25 roentgen and there is no scientifical possibility to have measured that number, so I don't think she should be trusted as a source at all.

Radioactive Bodies

Can we please delete or at least state the two quotes about bodies from chernobyl fireworkes as not radioactive as highly doubtful? This is just plain bollocks - it is axiomal, that they were. When living or solid matters is radiated, it becomes (at least for a time) radiated themselves. There is a reason for clothing, cars, trees, plants and tarmac to become radiated. OF COURSE, this also accounts for living tissue, consisting mostly of water (eg. humans). That these two "scientists" came up with the idea, that radiated persons are not sending out radioactivity, is beyond any logical understanding. Compare this also to the report of the medical staff from the Tokaimura Accident, patient Hisahsi Ouchi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarah Maier (talk • contribs) 01:02, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
