The TORCH report (The Other Report on Chernobyl) was a health impacts report requested by the European Greens in 2006, for the twentieth anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster, in reply to the 2006 report of the Chernobyl Forum which was criticized[1] by some advocacy organizations opposed to nuclear energy such as Greenpeace.[2]
In 2006, German Green Member of the European Parliament Rebecca Harms, commissioned two British scientists to write an alternate report (TORCH, The Other Report on Chernobyl) as a response to the 2006 Chernobyl Forum report.[1] The two British scientists that published the report were radiation biologist Ian Fairlie and David Sumner.[3] Both are members of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, an organization awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1985.[4][5]
In 2016, an updated TORCH report was written by Ian Fairlie with support of Friends of the Earth Austria.[6]
