Childhood leukaemia around nuclear facilities in Great Britain

  • 1. British Nuclear Fuels plc, Health and Safety Directorate, Risley, Warrington, Cheshire (United Kingdom)

Description

The elevated levels of childhood leukaemia incidence around certain nuclear facilities in Great Britain that have been found by epidemiological studies must be viewed with caution. The various inferential problems associated with these studies produce an uncertain interpretation. More research into the causes of childhood leukaemia is required before the distribution of cases is properly understood. (author)
