Women in Maldon are twice as likely to die from breast cancer than women in Burnham, a controversial new report claims.
Former Green Party spokesman Dr Christopher Busby conducted the investigation.
He believes waste discharged from Bradwell power plant is to blame.
A Magnox spokesman said: "Comment on the details of the study is a matter for experts in medical health.
"However the ratiation exposures of our workforce, and that of the general public, from authorised discharges from the nuclear industry, are well below maximum levels authorised by independent regulatory bodies."
