[...]Today, it is estimated that one woman out of every nine in the USA will develop breast-cancer sometime during her lifespan. The breast-cancer problem is reflected in the estimates below, of breast-cancer incidence in the USA (derived by the American Cancer Society from government data). The numbers exclude "in situ" cases. The rapidly rising numbers below reflect diagnosis, not death. As so many families know already, diagnosis in itself brings severe consequences, even if a woman dies of something else in the end. The numbers on the right show that the growth of the female population can explain only a small part of the rising incidence of breast-cancer. (The tabulation below is expanded in Tables 1 and 2, which are located after the final chapter.) 1970: 68,000 cases diagnosed; females of all ages = 104,309,000 1975: 88,000 cases diagnosed; females of all ages = 110,401,000 est. 1980: 108,000 cases diagnosed; females of all ages = 116,493,000 1985: 119,000 cases diagnosed; females of all ages = 122,474,500 est. 1990: 150,000 cases diagnosed; females of all ages = 128,454,000 1994: 182,000 cases diagnosed; females of all ages = 133,194,000 [...] ratical.org/radiation/CNR/PBC/chp1F.htmlKNOWING THAT RADIATION CAUSES CANCER, WHEN ARE AMERICANS GOING TO WAKE UP AND SHUT DOWN THE INDUSTRY?

berkeleycitizen.org/radiation/radiation1.htmWhy Marin has the Highest Breast Cancer Rate in the United States Particulate Radiation - The "gift" that keeps on giving for thousands of years. When I was stationed up in Idaho, going through Nuclear Power School I noted that there sure were a lot of deformed young people in the town in which I lived, relatively close to the Nuclear plants that were used for training. So many young with birth defects. I finally realized that what the Government was telling us about radiation "being essentially harmless" was a lie from the depths of hell. After I graduated, I spent the next two years at a duty station in Charleston reading as much as I could about nuclear power.There was not much information out there as the nuclear industry kept any embarrassing information away from the public as best they could. What I learned was that the radiation measured at the fence of the plant was not of much consideration. It was the particulate that mattered because that gets into your body and can kill you or deform you or deform your children and their children. Most Americans have radioactive Strontium and Cesium in their bodies. If you live within fifty miles of a Nuc Plant, you have "far more than most."
