AW: [ RadSafe ] Ranger site, uranium in Australia & cancer clusters among aborigines

[Rainer.Facius at dlr.de]

For leukemia clusters - especially in childhood - in populations around nuclear power reactors the contribution of 'migration' of workers with their families to such usually new settlements appears to be an established 'cause'.

Betreff: [ RadSafe ] Ranger site,uranium in Australia & cancer clusters among aborigines




One more aspect: Does anyone know whether the aborigines working at the site moved into the area relatively recently or not? There is a possibility that some of the aborigines were recruited from other areas with different habits and lifestyles and that such factors predisposed them or even started cancers before they began working at these uranium production sites. Any comments?

My personal reflection only,
