Guest guest Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Increased Cancer Risk For Children Living Near Reactors: Study Children younger than 5 years old who lived near nuclear power plants were much more likely to develop cancer than those in the general population, a German government study found. Children who lived less than five kilometers (three miles) from a nuclear power plant had about a 60 percent increased risk of cancer. When investigators looked at leukemia alone, there was a 117 percent increased risk, Agence France-Presse reported.
