🔬 A Harvard study published Dec. 17 in Environmental Health found that living closer to nuclear power plants (NPPs) in Massachusetts was linked to a higher chance of developing cancer.
⬇️ The risk of cancer decreased significantly as the distance from an NPP increased, with risk declining sharply beyond roughly 30 kilometers.
📈 The study estimates that about 20,600 cancer cases in Massachusetts (3.3% of those studied) were linked to living near an NPP, and the risk generally rose with age.
