Children are still being born with birth anomalies as a result of the nuclear disaster, which continues to this day. Some babies have been born with missing limbs, and one baby was born with two heads, which was a first for medical science. Most likely, these defects are the result of hazardous quantities of strontium-90, a radioactive substance that was released into the atmosphere following the disaster.
