Likewise, I was eleven years old, living under five miles from Fermi 1 when it melted down. I was in a band with a guy whose father worked there at the time. They were in a panic, working around the clock, ignoring safety procedures, not wearing dose badges, etc.

Within a decade, most of those working through that “event” (as the NRC calls it) are dead of cancer. My friend’s father (Phil Harrigan) died in his early ’50′s of leukemia, less than a decade after the “event.”

The problem with such things is that it is almost impossible to link “cause and effect.” You only have statistics to go on, so the “Precautionary Principle” should apply.

Nuclear plants are known to increase the cancer rate in the immediate area. But that can only add up to farmers that are buying steroids for their life stock making them grow a lot faster. Radiation from the plant along with chemicals pumped food that we eat may be the cause of the growing cancer rate.

A lot of people fail to realize that in the 1900s, there was only 1 in 100 person that contracted Cancer. In the 1950s, it was 1 in every 30 but since year 2000 the rate has been increased to one in 3. It's a combination of environment, the food, the air we breath and the water we drink. Obviously radiation is the fast way to get infected.

A tends to be bleak, with most individuals dying from the disease within a year after diagnosis. However, there are some who will live a decade or more with this deadly form of cancer. Why the discrepancy in prognosis? As with most cancers, the earlier it is detected, the better the outcome.

There may be hope for those suffering from mesothelioma though. A diagnosis does not mean death. Many new drugs are being used to help treat the disease and may improve the mesothelioma prognosis greatly. Mesothelioma prognosis, has the most up to date, important information surrounding Mesothelioma, Mesothelioma doctors and symptoms, Mesothelioma treatment, and Mesothelioma tests and research and it is your resource for Mesothelioma attorneys and lawyers, asbestos cancer, asbestos exposure, asbestos removal, asbestos lawsuits, and asbestos attorneys.

I grew up in this area, attended Jefferson and I can absolutely say that there was a RIDICULOUS amount of cancer in young people below 30, and as we grow older the amount of people getting cancer before 40 also seems preposterous.

I talked to someone about it, and they weren't convinced it was a problem with Fermi, but thought it might have something to do with construction materials at Jefferson High.

Who knows. But I'm sick of my friends and acquaintences struggling and dying like this...so young.
