Hospital admission and Cancer Registry figures showed levels of all cancers in this area at 497 cases per 100,000 people, much higher than the Welsh average of 413 cases per 100,000.
But in six other nearby areas, including towns and villages in the immediate vicinity of the plant in Padeswood (and Penyffordd) , cancer rates were either on a par or below the Wales average.
The other six areas drawn up for the study included parts of Buckley, Padeswood, Penyffordd and Penymynydd.
