Are the clusters of cancers linked with radioactive discharges?
Because there are not anomalous clusters of childhood cancers around all nuclear sites where there are discharges, the report concludes that the two are not specifically linked. However, the clusters in time and space around Sellafield (actually in the village of Seascale) and Dounreay are not likely to be due to non-random clustering. COMARE mentions population mixing as a possible explanation.
