....By an international consortium of academic physicians, epidemiologists and other scientists.

You obviously didn't read it. The source was right there, and you ask "what's the source?"

Your statement that "no one has kept track of cancer..." Is a Trumpian scale bit of misrepresentation. Cancer epidemiology has been a major undertaking of tens of thousands of highly trained PhD level scientists for more than a century. To claim otherwise is to simply display ignorance.

Look I'm a scientist who has literally spent 3 decades studying nuclear energy. I have hundreds of papers on Chernobyl in my files.

I am deeply offended and morally appalled at the Wikipedia based selective attention of poorly educated antinukes and their appeal to selective attention.

Thus kind of rhetoric kills people, including the 19000 people who will die today from air pollution. The suffering of future generations because of this type of ignorance will be huge and it breaks my heart.

I used to argue with people in this class, who live by innuendo, misinformation, and ignorance but they just make me sick. I now just add them to my ignore list.

Welcome to it.
