Commentary: childhood cancer near nuclear power stations
In 2008, the KiKK study in Germany reported a 1.6-fold increase in solid cancers and a 2.2-fold increase in leukemias among children living within 5 km of all German nuclear power stations. The study has triggered debates as to the cause(s) of these increased cancers. This article reports on the findings of the KiKK study; discusses past and more recent epidemiological studies of leukemias near...
متن کاملRadioactive Graphite Management at Uk Magnox Nuclear Power Stations
The UK nuclear power industry is predominantly based on gas-cooled, graphite moderated reactors with their being 20 operating and 6 shutdown Magnox reactors. The radioactive graphite issues associated with the Magnox reactors relate mainly to the reactor core graphite but, at two of the stations, there is also another graphite waste stream which results from the handling of their particular des...
متن کاملVariable Load on Power Stations
The function of a power station is to deliver power to a large number of consum ers. However, the power demands of different consumers vary in accordance with their activities. The result of this variation in demand is that load on a power station is never constant, rather it varies from time to time. Most of the complexities of modern power plant operation arise from the inherent variability o...
متن کاملChildhood cancer and nuclear power plants in Switzerland: a census-based cohort study
The recent publication by Spycher et al. was obviously triggered by concerns over the findings of a previous study in Germany that demonstrated a significant increase in risk for childhood leukaemia with diminishing distance from a nuclear power plant. However, neither the discussion nor the public presentation to the media disclosed that a virtually identical result was obtained in the Swiss e...
متن کامل’ response to : Childhood cancer and nuclear power plants in Switzerland : a census - based cohort study
Germany also evaluated residence at diagnosis and found similar leukaemia risks in children <5 years of age living near (0–5 km) nuclear power stations (Table 1). The standardized incidence ratio (SIR) is 1.40 in Switzerland (CH), 1.36 in Great Britain (GB) and 1.41 in Germany (D). The relative risk (RR), defined by the ratio of SIR in the 5-km zone to SIR in the rest of the study region, is 1....
