Description
It has taken a decade to establish that there is a real excess of childhood leukaemia in the vicinity of certain nuclear establishments in Britain. In this book emphasis has been given to reports that present original data. Reports of studies conducted in the UK are reproduced in full in chapters 1-40, extracts of government reports are presented in chapters 41-44, and letters and summaries by authors about investigations conducted elsewhere in the world are listed in chapters 45-55.
