Childhood leukemia at Sellafield

[TOOHEYR@ORAU.GOV]

I found the reference for the study that found the childhood leukemia
cluster at Sellafield was better described by an infection hypothesis due
to in-migration than by parental radiation exposure:

LJ Kinlen, M Dickson, & CA Stiller, "Childhood leukemia and
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma near large rural construction sites, with a
comparison to Sellafield nuclear site"  British Medical Journal
310:763-68, 25 March 1995.
