I challenge your understanding of what an independent scientific source is.
They're independent of nuclear power. They hold no vested interests in the technology and it isn't in their interests to promote the technology like it is the IAEA's.
They have an agenda of course, but it's nigh on impossible to find a truly impartial and independent source of information when it comes to nuclear power.
The link I posted contains scientific data from numerous studies and can prove itself a valuable resource for those who may wish to gauge the other side of the heavily sanitised and distorted nuclear debate.
One of my biggest qualms with the industry is that there's no truly independent and/or respected resource of information. When we find ourselves in the midst of a crisis it's left to the likes of the IAEA who are given the responsibility of keeping the public informed of the dangers while providing an accurate portrayal of developments. This is despite it being entirely against their interests to do so, it goes against their rhetoric.
They (among others) tamper with data and falsify for personal gain, they misrepresent and they distort.
The data that can be found on the site I posted is reputable and free of vested interests. It may not be entirely free of an agenda, but unless you can propose an alternative resource, you'll have to forgive me for attempting to readdress the balance.
