Everybody KNOWS that radiation causes cancer!
Therefore, studies  that produce results inconsistent with this 
certain knowledge, only show that further study is required :-)

> A study into childhood leukaemia, brain tumours and retinoblastoma
> near the Menai Straits by the Welsh Cancer Intelligence and Surveillance 
> Unit (WCISU) showed
> there was no evidence to link the diseases with nuclear discharges. This 
> was supported by
> a report on Childhood Cancer Incidence in Gwynedd and Anglesey by the 
> National Public
> Health Service for Wales (NPHS Wales). Both reports were responding to 
> claims contained in a
> report prepared by Green Audit, an environmental consultancy and review 
> organisation.
> The COMARE statement confirms that the analysis and methodology used
> by WCISU and the interpretation given by NPHS Wales was appropriate. It 
> also stated
> that "The Green Audit analyses have several significant weaknesses and 
> cannot be regarded
> as reliable."
