[ RadSafe ] Thyroid Cancers and Reactors

[Perle, Sandy]

Simply a matter of quantity. Chernobyl release was significant where normal reactor operations results in minimal I-131. Considering the number of reactor workers in the past 50 years or so, there hasn't been a correlation shown, except by the likes you mention.

Subject: [ RadSafe ] Thyroid Cancers and Reactors

Hello,

The question was asked "Can anyone  show a cause and effect
relationship between reactor emissions and thyroid cancer?  (No fair
citing Mangano, Bertell, Sternglass, etc., etc.)"

Although clearly not related to chronic emissions from emissions
under normal circumstances, a link between emissions from the
Chernobyl accident and thyroid cancers has been clearly demonstrated.
