Remember, the standard procedure is to find a reactor for which some 
cancer rates have gone up and claim that the reactor was responsible. 
Now we can assume that for the 103 power reactors in the U.S. that at 
least a few are in areas where cancer rates have gone up, maybe even 
significantly, for unknown reasons that have no relation to any 
reactor. But, then you selectively publish about this one or more 
reactors and ignore all those for which local cancer rates went down! 
Them you imply that all resactor causes cancer!

This doesn't take much effort or time. All you need is some eager 
young volunteers who believe that reactors are evil, and have them 
search the available cancer records around all 103 reactors until you 
find one or more that show cancer rate increases, then you use the 
usual manuscript template with these data, and you have a new 
publication that you can send to a reporter looking for a story.
