Soviets downplay disaster reject U S aid at Chernobyl
The Soviet Union refused U S aid for the Chernobyl disaster and said radiation at the Ukrainian plant had fallen. Officials reported 18 injured in serious condition, while U S secretary of state Shultz cited higher casualties. International agencies offered no confirmation of a fire being out, and Sweden and Israel noted varied casualty reports. Hundreds sought to leave the Soviet Union as May Day parades proceeded.
