A thorough expert study report on the incidence of childhood leukaemia and other cancers was published in 2006 by the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (COMARE). This study concluded that although the incidence of childhood cancer is not evenly distributed across the UK, there was no pattern of excess cases of childhood cancer close to nuclear power generation installations in the UK.
