Vol. 3: Individual Facilities: Cancer by 5-year Time Intervals.
This survey examined deaths attributed to leukemia or other cancers in counties that encompass or are near nuclear facilities. Although all forms of cancer were studied, the survey emphasized leukemia, since of all fatal forms of cancer it shows the greatest relative increase following exposure to ionizing radiation. The study produced no evidence that there was a risk of excess occurrence of cancer resulting from living near nuclear facilities. 7/1990
