Commentary - Latest Chernobyl Cancer Study Contains Numerous Problems
- A November 8 report claiming increased leukemia in Chernobyl clean-up
workers is fraught with problems. Several faults have been exposed by a
recent Ukrainian expert group. In addition, The Report’s
listing of supportive references with respect to its claim of a CLL/LLR
relationship being “not clear” is materially incorrect. Further, The Report
fails to make a comparison between typical non-irradiated leukemia
statistics and those gleaned from Chernobyl worker records. It appears The Report looks at Chernobyl in isolation from all necessarily-related
statistics: a critical omission that can only have been intentional.
Fukushima
updates - A Nuclear Regulatory Authority panel has agreed that the
nuclear watchdog should set the radiation level for evacuations
well-below international standards... Prime Minister Noda said nuclear
reactors should be decommissioned if the NRA decides it is a safety risk
due to proximity with a seismic fault... A new technology has been
developed that promises to recover 100 square kilometers of agricultural
property which were inundated by the 3/11/11 tsunami.
