The IAEA also point to shortcomings with pre-Chernobyl Soviet cancer registries, but cancer registries in western countries had similar issues at that time. In observational epidemiological studies where certain data are already known and certain effects are expected, statistical tests for significance of the results are not normally required.
A dog in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, 2017. The exact origin of the populations of dogs living in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (CNPP) and the surrounding areas of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is unknown. [1] However, it is hypothesized that these animals are the descendants of pets left behind during the original evacuation of Pripyat.

A new study analyzed the DNA of feral dogs living near Chernobyl, compared the animals to others living 10 miles away, and found remarkable differences.
The loss of human population in Chernobyl, sometimes referred to as the "exclusion zone," has allowed the ecosystems to recover. [9] The use of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers has decreased because there is less agricultural activity. [9] Biodiversity of plants and wildlife has increased, [9] and animal populations have also increased. [9]
The study uncovered that the feral dogs living near the Chernobyl Power Plant showed distinct genetic differences from dogs living only some 10 miles away in nearby Chernobyl City.
