[ RadSafe ] Childhood Leukemia and proximity to nuclear power plants

[Maury Siskel]

Hi Steve,
Thank you for posting the Jablon et al abstract and reference. It is 
easy to tire of the seeming endless studies of  cell phone cancers and 
NPP cancers, but these replications/repetitions surely are intrinsic 
functions of well done science. It is pleasant to have the periodic 
reassurances and to watch reasonable applications of science -- quite a 
contrast with some of our other shenanigans.  <g>
Best,
Maury&Dog   (Maury Siskel maurysis at peoplepc.com).
