Interesting info on Nuclear fallout - cancer link in US

R

RU482

From Yahoo news

I grew up in Iowa. There really aren't a whole lot of people in that state, especially where I grew up. I remember alot of older people dying of one type of cancer or another, including some realtives. Kinda makes me wonder
 
All "studies" must be treated with skepticism. Having worked on research projects myself, you'd be surprised about the amount of bias that goes into these things. You set out to prove something; you eventually end up looking only for data which supports your hypothesis. No journal is going to publish a boring, non-conclusive study - or one that affirms the status quo. Such is the nature of scientific inquiry.
 
Here's another link, ooo with a maplink

Note, this is the culmination of multiple studies. I still hear what you are saying, though
 
Although these findings are from federal studies. I don't see why they would want to set out to prove that fallout is worse than once thought.

EDIT:

<< Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, released part of the report Thursday as activists accused the government of deliberately stalling and demanded congressional hearings into the matter. >>



hehe, never mind... 😱
 
They used to have big parties in Las Vegas whenever there would be a nuclear bomb test in the Nevada desert. Of course Las Vegas was like 100 miles away from the test site, but you could still see everything.
 
Yeah, I've known that for quite a while now.. lol.. There have been other articles on the subject..

And just think, there are countries that have tested more nuclear weapons than the US has...
 
Yeah, I saw a documetay with footage taken from downtown Las Vegas during one of the blasts...kind of an erie flash and rumble
 
FROM CNN:



<< "Any person living in the contiguous United States since 1951 has been exposed to radioactive fallout, and all organs and tissues of the body have received some radiation exposure," the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Cancer Institute said in a progress report prepared for Congress. The report was reviewed by the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research. >>



WTF?
