[ RadSafe ] Busby is a waste of bandwidth; from busby

[Bjorn Cedervall]

The Radiat. Res. paper referred to below was adressed in another study published in 2001 (Lloyd et al., Radiat. Res., Vol. 155, pp.809-817): A study to verify a reported excess of chromosomal aberrations in blood lymphocytes of Namibian uranium miners.
 
The last two sentences in the summary of this analysis are:
 
"The overall conclusion is that the frequency of chromosomal damage in the miners did not exceed that in the controls. Therefore, the result of the earlier study [Zaire et al.] was not confirmed."
 
My personal initiative only,
 
Bjorn Cedervall
