In April 1986, the Chernobyl disaster resulted in a catastrophic nuclear accident, releasing a significant amount of radioactive material into the environment and causing severe health and environmental repercussions. The disaster has led to a significant increase in thyroid cancer, particularly among those exposed to high levels of radioactive iodine-131 during childhood or adolescence. However, there is a possibility that the risk of inheriting cancer in future generations might be lower because:
