If you live near a nuclear reactor plant, MOVE the hell away!
Consider the issue of Nuclear Reactor Plants causing Breast Cancer. You won't even see the statistics talked about on television, but the information has been available for all to read for decades now.
When Angela Merkel (Prime Minister of Germany) saw the reality of what has been happening all over the world, she ordered the shutdown of nuclear power in Germany. A rough estimate has it that if you live within fifty miles of a nuclear reactor plant you are five times more likely to contract breast cancer. In Germany they found the number to be way higher. This applies to both men and women.
Why don't we shut them down like Germany?
Simple, the corrupt industry is in charge of oversight and they keep on patting themselves on the back for all of the Billions in profit they are making. Fat cats supervising Fat cats and all buying vacations homes in the tropics while millions die.

When I went through Nuclear Power School in the Navy (1968 - 1969) I continued reading about the research related to ionizing radiation and cancer in individuals. Upon graduation from my training I was designated as a surface ship operator. There were only four surface ships in operation at that time and I had to wait until an opening came up before I was assigned to one.
In the interim I was stationed in Charleston, SC. assigned to Mine Sweeping Boats. I was there for two years when I finally received orders to the USS Truxtun DLGN-35 in Long Beach Ca.
If I left Charleston immediately to serve on that nuclear powered ship I would be on her for two years. That prospect did not please me. I delayed my departure as much as I could by asking my immediate superiors to request a hold on me to complete various work assignments because I had become well aware that the nuclear power proponents were lying like hell about the effects of low level radiation. It can kill you regardless of what the industry and the government tell you.
When I could delay no longer, I asked for ten days to drive across country and asked for all of my leave available at the time so I could delay my arrival on the nuclear powered ship for as long as possible.
44 days after I left Charleston I arrived in Long Beach to board my new ship. You have to study to qualify to be an operator. I did that as far away from the reactor plants as possible while still staying on the ship. I qualified and was a very capable operator and fulfilled my obligation to my country while the Truxtun was air traffic control ship for northern Viet Nam as we continued the war into 1972 and 1973.
When my enlistment was near its last few months and we had returned to the United States I applied for an early release so I could attend summer school. It was granted, and I spend a grand total of 15 months on the Truxtun before entering civilian life to go to college.
The information that I have learned since then has confirmed that you risk your life each day that you are near a nuclear plant that is a radioactive particulate emitter. I am 64 and have yet to develop cancer, but know that I have just been lucky so far. I do have two abdominal tumors that may or may not be related to radiation exposure. Only time will tell. I hope it does not tell me too late.
