Depending on the radioactive content of each plant, storage or reactor (cubic meters of radioactive material and tons of spent fuel), I set an index of radioactivity, which I indicated on the table with "Rad" [1] and I have previously listed in parentheses next to each nuclear site. Through this index and the distance of the radioactive site closest I found the ratio of radioactivity in the province, indicated by "Coeff. R "according to the following formula: Coeff. = R (1 - Dist.Cent. / 400) * Rad.
The distance from the site's radioactive as the denominator 400 km as far apart as possible on the Italian territory, and how far apart they may fade the effects of radioactivity.
An example may make it more understandable to the formula above: consider for this analysis, the first province in the list, Agrigento. It has a minimum distance of 49.5 km from most radioactive site near the reactor in Palermo, which has an index of radioactivity 5. With the above-mentioned formula the coefficient of radioactivity will be: (1-49.5/400) * 5 = 4.38. This means that although the province of Agrigento not present on its territory any material resulting from nuclear fission, is contaminated by the presence of a reactor at about 50 km from its borders.
In the second set of data, however, have shown plants, warehouses or reactors in each province by multiplying them by their index of radioactivity in order to have a coefficient of radioactivity in the whole province. Through the latter
and the ratio of radioactivity found previously have generated a ratio of total radioactivity in each province and on the presence or absence of radioactive deposits in the territory considered as a coefficient of radioactivity resulting from the distance to the nearest site radioactive. (See Table 6).
cite an example in relation to the province of Vercelli, which hosts on its territory the nuclear power plant of Trino and storage of radioactive waste with both index of radioactivity equal to 7, beyond that it is only 82 km from the reactor of Voghera, in the province of Pavia. To indicate that the province was only a rough index, therefore the value of both sites was added a coefficient of radioactivity found with the formula for the distance indicated above, equal to 3.97. In this way the province has a total coefficient equal to 17.97. By analyzing the mortality data in this province I have found that its death rate for cancer deaths is equal to 52.4, well above the national average of 46. The data lead us to proceed with regression analysis to capture the actual causes of cancer mortality.
