Again most of that is political. People living in the exclusion don't have significantly higher rates of cancer.
And again, this is soviet union reactor technology that doesn't apply anyway.
Instead of moving those people investing even 10% that amount of money in new hospitals, trains and bike lanes (or name X other things) would have saved far more people.
So if you want to be really hard core you could say, right, we should never built that type of reactor again. But we have never done so in the West anyway so its really none issue in any rational discussion about energy policy.
