LEUKAEMIA AND NUCLEAR POWER IN BRITAIN - THE EVIDENCE SO FAR

INTRODUCTION
Ever since the YTV programme, "Windscale, the Nuclear Laundry" showed a ten-fold
excess of childhood leukaemia near the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant, there
has been considerable public and scientific debate about the possible connection
between nuclear power and leukaemia. In this report we look at the evidence
published so far and give the results of an investigation into young leukaemia death
rates around fourteen nuclear installations in England and Wales in the period 1963
to 1980.
