A nationwide study by Harvard researchers reveals that U.S. counties closer to operating nuclear power plants have higher cancer mortality rates, even after adjusting for socioeconomic and health factors. The analysis covers data from 2000 to 2018 across all U.S. counties and nuclear facilities. While the findings do not establish causation, they highlight the need for further research on potential health impacts.
