saying all power plants are dangerous is a little like saying all gays have AIDS and carry HIV, or that the US Government has planned all terrorist attacks lately as part of their plan for world domination, or that if you have sex unprotected you WILL get an STD or you WILL get pregnant, and you WILL die.

maybe in conservative world it is. but i can tell the difference between a dodgy technoligy and a gay person. one is huge , made from concrete and steel. and produces nasty waste. one is a chap. it is a fact that ALL nuke power station have efluant pipes. it is a FACT that these pipes release nasty nasty isotopes onto the enviroment. and if you read bnfls OWN litriture you will see that it is a FACT that they are always pushing to be allowed to relese more of these toxic nastys into our enviroment. even they will admit that there is a greater risk of cancer amongst there employees but they use the words *not significant increase.* (eg increase but not huge) now bnfl employees actually have a lower rate of lung and throat cancers than the rest of the country. which helps cancel out the fact that they get more leukimia and deep bone cancers. a thought ocoured to me. there statistics do not take into account how much they smoke.i figure less of them smoke than the rest of the country. (which would account for the lower rate of lung and throat cancer) probably out from superstion.
so if you were to look at bnfl employees and ONLY look for leukimia and deep bone cancers you would find a large increase over the rest of the population. it is only when you factor in lung and throat cancers that you get the figure that bnfl uses.
people who have billions of pounds riding on an industry are far more likley to utilise propaganda than people who dont methinks.
