Why are you dwelling so much on radiation? Do you plan on them dumping them into your front yard or something. The simple solution is to look at rates of cancer and other radiation induced conditions around nuclear plants. Also amongst the people working there? Are they higher? Do your research but I assure you that you won't find anything. It's been studied to death. Chernobyl doesn't figure in because modern reactors aren't Chernobyl style. It was a terrible design even when it was brand new. Now go look up the same information around coal plants.
