[ RadSafe ] conclusions of North Wales childhood leukaemia studies

[John Jacobus]

Many things can cause cancer besides radiation.  I
even believe that tritium will cause cancer, but that
will require a large population injesting significant
quantities over long periods of time.  It is really
hard to find such "research subjects," even though
others suggest that they should take the risks.
