RE: Solid-Tumor Mortality in the Vicinity of Uranium Cycle Facilities and Nuclear Po

["Jacobus, John (OD/ORS)" <jacobusj@ors.od.nih.gov>]

Jim,

Is there a problem with their conclusions?



. . .Besides the effects of natural radiation, these results could 

well be evincing the influence on public health exerted by the environmental



impact of mining. No such well-defined pattern appeared in the vicinity of 

nuclear power plants. Monitoring of cancer incidence and mortality is 

recommended in areas surrounding nuclear fuel facilities and nuclear power 

plants, and more specific studies are called for in areas adjacent to 

installations that have been fully operational for longer periods. . .
