[ RadSafe ] Select Nuclear facilities have more leukemia risk

[howard long]

"Statistically significant" high rate of leukemia may occur BY CHANCE ALONE near 3 of the 104 USA nuclear power plants (by definition, 2 standard deviations)! 
   
  So selectively reporting those places that "support" a desired conclusion is NOT science. 
  An Inconvenient Truth (Gore) is a notorious example.

I am sure this will lead to more studies and employment opportunities
for "victim advocates" (read lawyers)

Don't shoot the messenger.....I just found the article 8-}
