. . .The two are among more than 30 children in St. Lucie County diagnosed
with a rare brain cancer in the past decade, according to St. Lucie County
Department of Health statistics.
State and local health officials have been searching for a cause of the
cancer for more than a decade. More than 400 sources, including the
nuclear power plant, have been tested as potential causes, but health officials
have not found a cause.

Hi John,
While I agree that this lawsuit is frivolous, there does appear to be
a higher incidence of these cancers in around the St.Lucie area. The
state and local government agencies have studied these cancers,
trying to look for a causal relationship, which they have not found.
So, while I don't agree with their conclusion (it's always easier to
go after the nuclear plant), there have been a higher number of
unexpected cancers in the area.
