Nuclear power plants in Switzerland
Field study in the environs of Swiss nuclear power plants
The Swiss “Commission for the Protection from Radioactivity” estimated in 1988 that as a result of the radioactive fallout from Chernobyl, the Swiss population would have 2 to 22 additional genetical anomalies for the next 100 years, and an additional 300 cases of cancer for the next 70 years.
