...dangers of nuclear radiation have been exhaustively studied, especially among survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Yet researchers had never confirmed that the children of exposed men could be affected. Earlier this year, researchers in England reported that such transmission may in fact be possible. Children of male workers at the Sellafield nuclear power plant were up to eight times as likely to be stricken by leukemia as children whose fathers did not work at the plant. The researchers theorized that cumulative low-level doses of radiation during the six months before conception may have triggered the damage...
