Low-level radiation harmed humans near Three Mile Island.
Low-level Radiation Harmed Humans Near Three Mile Island Wing et al. (1) analyze data from the area nearest the Three Mile Island nuclear installation, showing elevated cancer incidence rates 5 years after the 1979 accident. Wing et al. refute earlier assumptions that lowlevel radioactive emissions from the accident were too minute to produce observable effects (2). The critical analysis by Win...

متن کاملRevisiting Three Mile Island.
Background: Tumorigenesis is associated with changes in gene expression and involves many pathways. Dysregulated genes include "housekeeping" genes that are often used for normalization for quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qPCR), which may lead to unreliable results. This study assessed eight stages of hepatitis C virus (HCV) induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to search for appropriate genes ...
متن کاملA Re-Analysis of Cancer Incidence Near the Three Mile Island Nuclear Plant A Re-Analysis of Cancer Incidence near the Three Mile Island Nuclear Plant
Introduction The well-known accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant on the Susquehanna River near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA, began on March 28, 1979. Industry and government reports concluded that the maximum gamma dose to a member of the general population was about 1 mSv and that the accident would not result in detectable health effects [2,11]. Despite these reassurances, m...
متن کاملComments on "A reevaluation of cancer incidence near the Three Mile Island nuclear plant".
This issue of the journal includes a critical review and reanalysis by Wing et al. (1) of a cancer study we conducted in the aftermath of the 1979 accident at the Three Mile Island (TMI) nuclear plant (2,3). We find the lengthy piece tendentious and unbalanced. No notice is taken of any of the innovations of the original study, such as the exposure model that took detailed account of prevailing...
