WHOA! Is it well known that nuclear workers have a higher incidence of cancer than others? What is your definition of nuclear worker? What is your data? What is its source?

It is well known that nuclear workers have higher incidence of cancer. It is? And much higher? If there is a profit motive to hide information, then the free market insists that such a secret can and will be kept by those who have it. If the oil companies knew for a fact that 150 years from now a global catastrophe would result from their practices, what free market mechanism would adjust the price of oil or otherwise tip their hand? None. If they knew such a thing others could know it as well. Leaks would eventually happen and also other people could figure it out by themselves. In a communist country it is more likely that it would be hushed up. Tim
