Cancer cluster downwind of Wylfa

Welsh-language TV channel S4C has reported new evidence of a cancer cluster near the nuclear power stations at Wylfa in Wales.
Commissioned by S4C, Professor Chris Busby analysed official data for cancer deaths, showing a statistically significant 58% increase in female breast cancer and 50% increased lung cancer in men downwind of the two Magnox reactors, which began production in 1971.
Internet users within the UK can view the programme here - http://www.s4c.co.uk/bydarbedwar/e_index.shtml. It is the second of two programmes investigating the significance of the Fukushima disaster for the proposed new nuclear reactor at Wylfa.
The first programme, Y Byd ar Bedwar - Fukushima, was transmitted on 12th December. It can be seen on http://www.s4c.co.uk/clic/e_level2.shtml?series_id=482236265 until 16th January.
For reasons of copyright, most S4C programmes including Y Byd ar Bedwar can not be streamed outside the British Isles.
