Area residents are concerned that there could be a link between local childrens' cancer and nuclear reactors. A new study released Thursday said that there could be a direct link.

 Danny Kishpaugh is 9 years old, loves Pokemon and if all goes well, will beat cancer.

 On a day where he was thinking about getting the game-winning hit, Danny was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called neuroblastoma.

 Doctors had to remove one of his kidneys. Soon after, the Kishpaugh family found the Danny was not alone.

 In recent years, dozens of children in Port St. Lucie have been stricken with cancers of the brain and central nervous system.

 A new study casts suspicion on two nuclear power plants in South Florida -- Turkey point in Miami-Dade County, and a plant in St. Lucie County.

 The report says that childhood cancers in St. Lucie County have jumped more than 300 percent over the last 15 years. The report adds that baby teeth of some Miami-Dade County children contain higher than normal levels of strontium-90. Strontium-90 is produced only by nuclear explosions and power plants.

 Danny's mother, though, thinks the reaction her son and others have had may be due to more than just the reactor.

 Danny is more concerned trying to figure out where to put his baseball memorabilia. Among those trophies is an award from the American Cancer Society -- an award for courage.
