According to Paul Harvey (ABC Radio) news broadcast at noon today, babies/children born to Chernobyl residents who were exposed to radiation
(absorption unknown) are reported to have IQ higher than "normal" babies/children, or words to that effect. No reason was known or cited.
A cursory search of ATS, ABC News, ABC Radio news, and CNN for keywords radiation and Chernobyl was unproductive, or I might have missed it.
Apologies if this is redundant.

hmm k
could it not just be due to mutation within the growth period when they are in the womb or were they already born???
Goverment plot to make ppl smarter?
do you have a link?
Is there any mutation physically either noticable by the naked eye or like increase brain size number of folds that can explain this........They must
also have extremly high radiation levels, which would mean they should have some form of radiation sickness should they not ???

Maybe Mr. Harvey was just shilling for the Nuclear Power industry, as he is wont to do with commercial products.
COALITION 21--SUCCESSFUL PRONUCLEAR ACTIVISM AT WORK
 Coalition 21 is an Idaho Nonprofit Corporation that has qualified under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. It was founded by a
group of public-spirited men and women who believe that nuclear technology has a vital role in the future of our nation.
Other members have an established rapport with inidividual decision makers or media personalities. For example, one of our members, long an activist
before the formation of Coalition 21, has been successful in getting Paul Harvey's attention on a number of issues. We help these people with
background information and peer review of their communications. 
"Yes, America, nuclear power makes you smarter and helps you grow big and strong. And those extra fingers and toes help you grasp things better and
run faster. Now you know the rest of the story, as presented by the nuclear power lobby. Good Day."

Minority2000uk,
I looked around some more and haven't yet found a definitive link,
however, I dug up this other fasinating Chernobyl URL.
This is a massive website describing Elena's motorcycle rides through Chernobyl
during the Spring of 2004

For the record, I'm NOT endorsing the Paul Harvey radio broadcast.
I defer to you guys for the expertise.
Thanks.

I have seen this site before. Man that chick loves her bike! You read as much about her bike and how she fixed it up as you do about her drive through
Chernobyl.
BTW, I replied to a humorous post earlier and I realized I may have come off a little A holish. I apologize for that. I would like to say that the
children being born in the vicinity of Chernobyl with birth defects are no laughing matter. My reply was in no way ment to convey this.

Hi Kidfinger,
No apology needed. I should have added the disclaimer to the top post to begin with.
As far as i can tell, that news story hasn't resurfaced. There's plenty of ways expectant mothers can get rad, like living in Colorado where normal
background radiation is higher, or by messing with cesium or thorium samples, etc. Of course the consequencies are way worse than any benefit of
giving junior a higher IQ.
As for Elena Filatova, here's her other website:
www.angelfire.com...
Maybe somebody should buy her a Harley.
Laters,
Adonsa

i wil;l not laugh at what most people say about radation exposure since i have had more than most folk get in a lifetime--i worked in radation in the
airforce for 15years --this was top secreat stuff--in the process the gov did not know what radation could do and my body has suffered to results-- i
started with rads with no badges to record exposure --no lead shield or prtection of anytype--i have had numerous cancers that i still fight-
allergies to manmade things such that i can not go into a town without getting sick--bones and all that go with them that is deterating but no
goverment doctor has a reason--however this is the first time i have heard that readation increased my smarts--there is a thread link to radation in
lower doses effecting dna and genetic breaks so there is a possiblity-i guess- that the baby in the womb could have effective minor health risk
changes--i never believe one sourse for fact statement-though research can be slanted towards what the researcher wants--i know the usaf taught me
how to do this for yeaqrs. temperance
