Further Info] Several epidemiological studies of cancer (especially leukemia) and other disease incidence, birth defects, mortality, and other abnormalities have been conducted in communities near CANDU nuclear stations and other nuclear facilities in Canada. As expected by the low levels of radioactive emissions measured to date, there has been no evidence of a negative health effect in these populations. These studies include: • Clarke E.A., McLaughlin J., Anderson T.W., “Childhood Leukemia Around Canadian Nuclear Facilities – Phase I”, Atomic Energy Control Board (now the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission), INFO-0300-1, Ottawa, Ontario, 1989 • Clarke E.A., McLaughlin J., Anderson T.W., “Childhood Leukemia Around Canadian Nuclear Facilities – Phase II”, Atomic Energy Control Board (now the Canadian Nuclear S
