A feature about nuclear energy stated incorrectly that there had been an estimated 10,000 deaths from all causes related to the Fukushima disaster, including 1,500 from cancer. The overall estimate is closer to 2,200, and none of them are from cancer – the 1,500 figure was an estimate of such deaths in the future and was too low; forecasts range from 10,000 to 60,000. Also, the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant buries transuranic waste, rather than “high-level nuclear” waste; and a picture of Sellafield nuclear power station was a digital composite that included an image of industrial pollution from elsewhere (Poisoned legacy, 14 May, Saturday magazine, p61).
