Uranium concentrating in testicles? That's just nuts!!

James, Jaro et al
I have never seen a study about uranium concentration in testicles but
then I doubt if it has ever been measured. A source of information could
be the USTUR. By copy I'm asking Tony James if he knows.

Jaro,
Thank you for the information regarding leukemia and lymphoma among
young people born and living near the Sellafield nuclear power plant in
West Cumbria, U.K.:

If you recall my message context, I was suggesting that uranium
accumulation in testicles explains the cancer incidence increase in
children of exposed fathers.
Does anyone know if Comare/UKDoH/etc. have looked at uranium
contamination of the workers involved?
Sincerely,
James Salsman
