RPHP Releases New Journal Article on Reduced Cancer Rates Near Closed Nuclear Plant
RPHPs Joseph Mangano and Dr. Janette Sherman have published a first-ever article examining reductions in cancer rates in Sacramento County after the 1989 shut down of the Rancho Seco nuclear plant. In the 20 years following shut down, there were 4,319 fewer cancer cases among county residents. The information was published in the journal Biomedicine International, and announced at a March 28, 2013 press conference.

RPHP Finds Early Evidence of Link Between Japan Fallout and U.S. Infant Death Risk
RPHP members Joseph Mangano and Janette Sherman have published a report with preliminary information showing rising infant deaths in areas hardest hit by Japanese fallout. Using CDC data, the researchers found a 35% rise in the Pacific Northwest and a 48% rise in Philadelphia.

RPHP Responds to the Nuclear Meltdowns in Japan
Please Read Our Press Releases on Contamination and Health Risk
RPHP analyzed official EPA data on Japan radiation that drifted to the U.S., and found it is 20 times above normal in the air and precipitation. Levels in Idaho are about 100 times above normal. This suggests that Americans born later in 2011 will have higher rates of infant deaths, low weight births, cancer, and other conditions, which is what occurred after the Chernobyl plume drifted over the U.S. in 1986.

20,000 Excess Cancer Cases in 15 Years Near Indian Point:
New Report Suggests Radiation Exposure May Be One Cause
Joseph J. Mangano MPH MBA
Radiation and Public Health Project
November 18, 2010
Cancer incidence rates in the four counties closest to the Indian Point nuclear plant have risen much more rapidly than U.S. rates since the early 1990s, according to a report released today. If trends in local rates had equaled U.S. trends, over 20,000 fewer local residents would have been diagnosed with the disease.

RPHP Releases Journal Article Showing Thyroid Cancer Rates Near Indian Point Nuclear Reactors Are Among the Highest in the U.S.
On November 16th, 2009, RPHP held a press conference announcing its findings that the rate of thyroid cancer cases in counties closest to the Indian Point nuclear plant 35 miles north of midtown Manhattan are the highest in New York State, and among the highest in the U.S.
These findings are substantiated in detail in Mr. Mangano's article: Geographic Variation in U.S. Thyroid Cancer Incidence and a Cluster Near Nuclear Reactors in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania published in the International Journal of Health Services Volume 39, Number 4, 2009, pages 643 - 661.
