<<Isn't this the same data that was presented in the class action lawsuit
claiming health effects from TMI that was thrown out bythe court for lack of
credibility last year? Is the Environmental Health Perspectives peer reviewed?

"Environmental Health Perspectives" is a peer-reviewed journal of the U.S.
Department of Health, Education and Welfare, National Institutes of Health,
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park,
NC.  (http://ehis.niehs.nih.gov/)

The abstract of the article "A Reevaluation of Cancer Incidence Near the Three
Mile Island Nuclear Plant: The Collision of Evidence and Assumptions" is
available at http://ehpnet1.niehs.nih.gov/docs/1997/105-1/wingabs.html.  Full-
text seems available online only by subscription.

[In 1996], U.S. District Court Judge Sylvia Rambo dismissed more than 2,000
damage claims filed against the power plant by nearby residents. Dr. Wing
complained, "After she threw out the evidence that people had been injured by
the accident, including part of our work, then she ruled that there wasn’t
enough to proceed with the case."
