> The org, mentioned in your link, that you think did a government study is named "The Institute for Energy and Environmental Research". They have a website... Yes I know and I checked them out before I posted the article and that is why I did not emphasize the 80,000 figure. Don't you think if I had been as indiscriminate as you think I would have harped on the 80,000 number. But you are dead wrong on the what I said. The article says that The newspaper USA Today reported that it had seen portions of the study, the government’s first effort to assess the effects of nuclear detonations on the entire country. In other words, it is not IEER who reports the 15,000 figure. Here it is again:RADIOACTIVE fallout from nuclear weapons tests caused at least 15,000 fatal cancers in America in the past half century, according to reports of a government study. At least read the whole thing before you argue it.
