Antinuclear

Nuclear radiation and WOMEN – theme for May 2014

Breast cancer and ionising radiation Ionizing radiation has long been regarded as the most established environmental risk factor for breast cancer…

..Ionising radiation from the nuclear industry affects women especially, because the breast tissue is particularly susceptible to it…..

…Developing fetuses are known to be especially sensitive to radiation

If you live or work close to nuclear power plants, or lived in the era of atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons (1945-1980) you will also have accumulated higher doses of this radiation.
