Also, I am referring to studies of the danger of living in proximity to a nuclear plant not the safety of the actual building or the work being carried out...
This is something I have posed here NUMEROUS times and no-one, NOT ONE PESON can answer my questions:
France has 78% of their power generated from nuclear plants yet we don't see any abnormalities in their cancer statistics, why is that?
Their first reactor went online in 1964, almost 50 years of non-stop operations and nobody has gotten sick, explanation?
There are over 2.8 million people living within a 50 mile radius of 3 mile island nuclear plant, no sicknesses no increase in cancer rates since 1974... Explain?
Indian Point nuclear reactor on the Hudson river up from NYC, no sicknesses or cancer reported because of it since 1962, explanation?

Have you done your research? Ever investigate Chernobyl? Thousands upon thousands died, there was EXTREME deception and knowledge kept in secret from the people for decades.
Lets look at FACTS (you do know what they are, right?), shall we:
How many people died as an immediate result of the accident?
The initial explosion resulted in the death of two workers. Twenty-eight of the firemen and emergency clean-up workers died in the first three months after the explosion from Acute Radiation Sickness and one of cardiac arrest.
The conspiracy forums are over there --------------------->

Wow you really are oblivious to the corruption that lies in this country... Almost every single University has been sold out to corporations and or govt entities so the research being done is for their own agenda...
How about agent orange, DDT, PCB's etc...Flouride! Bisphenyl A
Oh, I have another one rBST OR rBGH look that up and enlighten yourself...fox news reporters investigated it only to be silenced --- they couldn't afford to lose their precious advertising dollars from Monsanto. Enjoy your GMO'S too, lol.

btw I am not part of any green conspiracy I care about the earth, having clean uncontaminated water and air as well as respect for organic farmers. I was born and raised 1 mile from a chemical plant that destroyed my health rendering me disabled... Chemicals kill and destroy they do nothing to promote society or the environment we inhabit. Our DNA was not manufactured! We were not born with the ability to withstand these manufactured toxins! Here is some RESEARCH FOR YOU
You do know what hijacking a thread is, right?
This is not about chemicals or chemical plants, that subject has been beaten to death in this forum numerous times....
guess it will be different when you're in the fryer...
you have your "facts" wrong good luck to you, pointless to argue with close minded ignorance
you do realize you are in the "Green Living" forum, you may want to head to the psychology forum where you are sure to fit in, obviously agent orange has affected your logical thought processes...

For over 20 years, I spent 7 months per year living within 100 yards of a live nuclear reactor.
By 'living' I mean: sleeping, eating and working. Spending 24hrs/day confined in a large steel pipe that included a nuclear reactor inside with me. I am not talking about some office worker who goes home to his wife after an 8hr shift.
There are new studies done every year focusing on men who live with nuclear reactors.
Oh, did I mention that that I slept between nuclear warheads? I did.
Men have been doing this since 1954.
Nearly 60 years of men living in close proximity of nuclear reactors and nuclear warheads.
We have ran nuclear reactors for decades, until they became flat wore-out.
We have made over 200 of these nuclear reactors just on warships. PLUS we have also been making them on surface vessels [like aircraft carriers]. We are cranking out new nuclear reactors a couple every year.
Submariners are among the MOST closely inspected and studied men on earth.
Tell me again how there are no studies of the danger of living in proximity to a nuclear plant.

As I have said before in this forum, I am for Green Living up to a point, the point where I stop is nodding my head in agreement at everything posted in this forum no matter how ludicrous and outrageous....
Your attitude confirms exactly what I said above, if it's posted here the Green Nodding Heads will accept it without question.....
Now, would you care to answer my questions?

To some, living near a nuclear plant is like living at the base of a dam. They are tormented psychologically by allowing themselves to trust these human constructs which hold back deadly forces. Mental state is well linked to quality of life, so yes, to some nuclear plants cause ill.

Using this same logic:
~ some people are scared to death of driving on a freeway
~ some people are scared to death of open spaces
~ some people are scared to death of heights
~ some people are scared to death of flying
~ some people are scared to death of being out in the ocean
Yet I don't see anyone blaming the above for degrading peoples quality of life or making people ill....
Talk about ludicrous things to blame on nuclear power this one's a beaut.....
Editor's Note (posted 12/30/08): In response to some concerns raised by readers, a change has been made to this story. The sentence marked with an asterisk was changed from "In fact, fly ash—a by-product from burning coal for power—and other coal waste contains up to 100 times more radiation than nuclear waste" to "In fact, the fly ash emitted by a power plant—a by-product from burning coal for electricity—carries into the surrounding environment 100 times more radiation than a nuclear power plant producing the same amount of energy." Our source for this statistic is Dana Christensen, an associate lab director for energy and engineering at Oak Ridge National Laboratory as well as 1978 paper in Science authored by J.P. McBride and colleagues, also of ORNL.
As a general clarification, ounce for ounce, coal ash released from a power plant delivers more radiation than nuclear waste shielded via water or dry cask storage.
And just so it's clear in the following graph coal ash falls under "other" as would exposure from a nuclear power plant:
