Do people who work in nuclear power plants get sick easily?

Not supported by data as a general statement.

Nuclear workers are subject to personal dosimetry, dose limits, health checks, and radiation protection procedures. UNSCEAR reports that average occupational exposures in the modern nuclear sector are generally low relative to regulatory limits. This does not mean there is no risk, but the claim that workers 'get sick easily' cannot be substantiated as a general rule.
