I just read this: "Gordon Edwards, president of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility, says that while radiation coming from Fukushima will lead to higher cancer rates among Canadians, the risk posed to individuals is very small."
Say what? Correct me if I'm wrong, and I could easily be, but for the rates to be higher, certainly that means that the numbers of individuals affected has to be higher also. Unless he means that the numbers of individuals affected will remain the same, but instead of having one type of cancer, people will be rife with multiple forms.
I'm sure this makes sense to the man who said it, but on first reading, the logic escapes me. In any case, radiation from Fukushima seems to be hitting North America, and there's very little news coverage about the potential dangers.
