Years ago, health officials said cigarettes caused cancer. Then industry’s “tobacco scientists” claimed otherwise.

The Harvard School of Public Health found proximity to nuclear plants, including Pilgrim, increases cancer risk. O’Brien, Holtec’s very own “tobacco scientist” denied the real scientists’ study. Do you believe the salesman or the scientists? Take a look at the Massachusetts Cancer Registry yourself. You will see that, year after year, Plymouth has statistically significant rates of radiation-linked disease.
