US Nuclear Power Generation vs US Death Rate
US Nuclear Power Generation and US Death Rate correlate at r = -0.47 over 60 years (1965–2024), p = 1.6e-4. With the time trend removed, r = -0.60. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 1.6e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.60). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
