McClatchy journalists published a sensational report that suggested over 30,000 nuclear workers at weapons facilities across the United States died from radiation-induced cancer when, in fact, it’s impossible to show that even a hundred did. Over 50,000 workers who worked at U.S. weapons sites over a period of about 40 years have received monetary compensation if they got cancer, regardless of whether the cancer was caused by radiation or not. However, the authors of this report decided that if someone received a payment that meant their cancer was caused by radiation. Which is nonsense.
