== Low level radiation ==<br />
Low level radiation is the radiation emitted by nuclear facilities in "normal" operation. Usually this radiation is below the allowed limits of radioactive emissions, and the atomic industry usually says it wouldn't be of any harm for this reason. However, several examinations of the last 50 years have showed that low level radiation causes significant increases of health issues like [[Leukemia|leukemia]] and childhood cancers (see e.g. "[[Leukemia#KiKK study|KiKK study]]").<br />
