AW: [ RadSafe ] Childhood Leukemia and proximity to nuclear powerplants

[Edmond Baratta]

I like the study that was done around the Pilgrim Plant in Plymouth, MA. 
The study 'showed' that the people near there had a higher incident of 
cancer (the type eludes me) than the rest of the Cape.  However they failed 
to show that it was below that MA.
