This an English translation of a previously published book by Alexey V. Yablokov (Center for Russian Environmental Policy, Moscow, Russia), Vassily B. Nesterenko, and Alexey V. Nesterenko (Institute of Radiation Safety, Minsk, Belarus) on the Chernobyl disaster. This is not a study commissioned by or for the New York Academy of Sciences.

je lis mal l’anglais,
mais je comprends,
quand même que cette étude n’est pas faite
par ou pour
l’académie des sciences de new york.

Cela confirme donc ce que vous dites.
