Thyroid cancer cases double in the decades after nuclear power comes to Scotland

From euronews. yesterday:

Captured by Moscow soon after its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, the nuclear plant has frequently been caught in the crossfire, becoming a continual source of worry for international observers.

The recent fire that broke out at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in eastern Ukraine has renewed fears of a potential disaster at the site.

All citizens also have an iodine tablet, which blocks radiation absorption by the thyroid gland, thus preventing thyroid cancer risks. Each household receives it every five years. But whether it’s necessary to ingest it depends on the scale of the radiation leak.

Thyroid cancer was three times more common in females than in males and was more common in older than younger age groups. Between 1960 and 2000, the annual EASR of thyroid cancer increased from 1.76 to 3.54 per 100,000 for females (P < 0.001) and from 0.83 to 1.25 per 100,000 in males (P < 0.001).

Remember the onus is not upon us to prove nuclear power is dangerous but upon the industry, university researchers and politicians to prove it is not.

Can we trust them?

The UK Government is refusing to say why it is keeping nuclear safety reports secret because it is worried about “anti-nuclear arguments…
