The study, conducted by Stanford University PhD graduate John Ten Hoeve and Stanford civil engineering professor Mark Z. Jacobson, to be published in the July 17 issue of Energy and Environmental Science concluded that the global health impact of the release of radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster might eventually cause 130 deaths and 180 cases of cancer, mostly in Japan, though the range of possibilities varied widely. However Mark Lynas on his site says the Fukushima death toll projections are based on junk science.
