« Cancer rates after the Three Mile Island nuclear accident and proximity of residence to the plant », American Journal of Public Health, 8 janvier 1991, 81, p. 719-724 : « In an analysis examining cancer rates and residential proximity to the Three Mile Island nuclear plant, we observed a modest postaccident increase in cancer near TMI that is unlikely to be explained by radiation emissions. (…) The most plausible alternative explanation is that improved surveillance of cancer near the TMI plant led to the observed increase. »]

Though members of the group have published a handful of articles in peer-reviewed journals, including Archives of Environmental Health, their credibility with the scientific establishment hovers near zero. Detractors say they obsess over amounts of radiation that are insignificant compared with the dose humans receive each day from cosmic rays, soil and other natural sources. »

Conclusions: The TMI population showed a higher proportion of papillary thyroid cancer and less aggressive pathology and earlier diagnosis compared to the rest of Pennsylvania. No statistically significant difference in thyroid cancer incidence was noted. Overall, the study does not show a clear link with more advanced thyroid cancer and proximity to the TMI nuclear reactors » ; et « Although low-dose radiation has been linked to increased thyroid cancer incidence in children, our data do not support a similar link among the TMI cohort », The Laryngoscope, 27 février 2012.
