90% Increase In Childhood Leukemias Around French Nuke Plants!

That's what a recent study concluded between the years of  2002-2007.  Note that the increase is not apparent over the years of 1990-2007 (which include the smaller subset).  The authors are to be commended for pointing out a major weakness of these types of studies:

"Like most studies of childhood leukemia in the neighborhood of NPPs, the Geocap study did
not have access to complete residential histories, which is an important limitation for the
NPPs"

There are other weaknesses too, pointed out by the authors:
