         Here is an English link to Alfred Körblein: Childhood cancer near 
German nuclear power plants 
<http://www.alfred-koerblein.de/cancer/english/index.htm>.
This was co-authored with an A. Hoffman.  The citation is Medicine & Global 
Survival, August 1999; Vol. 6:18-23.  At the end of the above link is a 
link to the full text in PDF.

         Korblein has also written a paper on "Perinatal mortality in West 
Germany following atmospheric nuclear weapons tests."  (Archives of 
Environmental Health Nov. 2004; 59(11):604-609).   This link 
<http://www.alfred-koerblein.de/atomtests/english/index.htm> will take you 
to what appears to be an abstract, with two graphs.  Within the apparent 
abstract is a link to the full text in PDF.

         Here is another link to the Perinatal mortality paper (in English) 
and not in PDF.  <http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-144293253.html>  AK 
invokes Sternglass, and cites to him, and to John Gould (for what that's 
worth).  According to a notation at the end of the paper, AK retired from 
the Munich Environmental Institute at the end of 2004.

         Here is what the IPPNW has to say about it 
all:

         AK has written an article or a paper titled "Pregnancy outcome 
after the Chernobyl accident," however it is not currently available on his 
web site.
