It would also be interesting to see which time period is qualified as "clean up" as it is still a grave issue. Also if there are awards for "liquidating" and "advocacy of issues caused".
Good points.
Here is one more example of a Chernobyl citation, the last I've been able to find.
I though I had better numbers, but in total to date, I've only observed 5 Red Stars and 5 OSH3's. Two of each were awarded in 1986, the rest in 1988.
I've read about Medals for Protecting Public Order and Medals for Bravery in Firefighting awarded, but don't have numbers.
Apparently all liquidators who worked on the roof of the reactor were given gramotas. Examples shown in this youtube video at 3:30. Elsewhere in this video, or perhaps in another on youtube, there is footage of the gramotas being handed out as soon as the men returned from the roof.
