NCRP Report No. 136 – How to ignore data that contradict the LNT hypothesis
(June 14, 2006) The International Commission for Radiological Protection (ICRP) adopted the linear nonthreshold model of radiation risk to simplify the administration of radiation protection. (ICRP 1977) At that time there were already several good epidemiological studies that contradicted the assumption. Continue reading

DOE’s Letter of Concern About BEIR 7 Report
(July 15, 2005) “..between the BEIR 5 Report of 1990 and last year, new and exciting biological research has been published demonstrating that cell in tissues respond very differently to radiation than isolated cells in culture and that cellural responses to low doses of radiation are very different from responses to high doses of radiation.” Continue reading

Nuclear shipyard worker study (1980–1988): a large cohort exposed to low-dose-rate gamma radiation
(June 2, 2005) A summary of the 1991 Final Report of the Nuclear Shipyard Worker Study (NSWS), a very comprehensive study of occupational radiation exposure in the US. The NSWS compared three cohorts: a high-dose cohort of 27,872 nuclear workers, a low dose cohort of 10,348 workers, and a control cohort of 32,510 unexposed shipyard workers. Continue reading

Nuclear shipyard worker study (1980–1988): a large cohort exposed to low-dose-rate gamma radiation
(Jun. 2, 2005) Information from the unpublished 1991 Final Report of the Nuclear Shipyard Worker Study (NSWS). The NSWS is the world’s largest and most thorough study of health effects of low-dose- rate ionising radiation to nuclear workers. Continue reading

Correspondence: Radiation increased the longevity of British radiologists
(April 10, 2002) Radiation increased the longevity of British radiologists. The 100-year study of British radiologists is perhaps the most important article about the health effects of radiation on humans published. Continue reading

Correspondence: Radiation increased the longevity of British radiologists
(Apr. 10, 2002) The 100-year study of British radiologists is perhaps the most important article about the health effects of radiation on humans ever published. The continuity of follow-up in the study is the longest for any study of exposure to chronic radiation. Continue reading
