Re: Info on animal experiment at Los Alamos
FYI, Gary Tietjen (rhymes with kitchen) of LANL presented a paper at the
1985 Radiation Hormesis Conf. This paper, titled "EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO
PLUTONIUM AND LOW-LEVEL EXTERNAL RADIATION ON LUNG CANCER RATES", concluded
with the following---- "To date, the styudies have shown that lung cancer
mortality rates among highly exposed persons is surprisingly low, often
significantly lower than national averages".
