But the main conclusion of the report is:

"Under the conditions of these 2-year whole-body exposure studies, there
was equivocal evidence of carcinogenic activity* of 60-Hz magnetic fields
in male F344/N rats based on slightly increased incidences of thyroid gland
C-cell neoplasms. There was no evidence of carcinogenic activity in female
F344/N rats or male or female B6C3F mice exposed to 0.02, 2, or 10 G, or 10
G intermittent 60-Hz magnetic fields.  [the report gives some reasons why
this result is equivocal, including the multiple comparison problem]

In exposed rats and mice there were no increased incidences of neoplasms at
sites for which epidemiology studies have suggested association with
magnetic fields (brain, mammary gland, leukemia)."

Sounds like a basically negative study to me!  This study, together with
the negative results of the Repacholi study, would seem to be the end of
the story.
