It's true that nuclear workers get sick and die.  But virtually all studies
of nuclear workers show that workers exposed to radiation have better health
statistics than comparable workers not exposed.  This includes studies by
Wing, et al.

This says nothing about the effects of chemicals or the response of
managements to sick workers, nor the agony of those who are sick and those
who love them.  But it does say that low-dose radiation is not harming them.
