RE: NCRP 136 and 137 now available
Jerry,
I believe that Chapters 3 through Chapter 9 are very important. This report
is a review of the information that is currently available, along with the
51 pages of reference. How do you expect to understand the underlying
questions and data without knowing the underlying physics, biology and
research that supports or refutes the theory. Would you expect someone to
understand the theory of evolution without seeing the data and underlying
questions?
Of course, if you have made up your mind, you do not need to bother with the
questions and science that these or any scientific theories propose. You
can take or reject them at face value.

I have reviewed and commented on NCRP-136. One aspect of this report
that I did not comment on has me puzzled and perhaps someone else who has
reviewed the report can enlighten me.
Most of the material covered in Chapters 3 to 9 seemed to be irrelavent
to the overall subject and I really could not understand how the information
discussed in the body of the report tracked to its conclusions. For example,
how does the discussion of DNA repair, oncogenic transformation, etc. affect
the question of whether LNT is a valid concept and/or reasonable basis for
low-dose radiation exposure standards????

NCRP Report No. 136
Evaluation of the
Linear-Nonthreshold Dose-Response
Model for Ionizing Radiation
NCRP Report No. 136 on Evaluation of the Linear-Nonthreshold Dose-
Response Model for Ionizing Radiation is 263 pages long with 12 sections
and references. It begins with 1. Executive Summary followed by 2.
Introduction, 3. a Biophysical section, and 4. Deoxyribonucleic Acid Repair
and Processing after Low Doses and Low-Dose Rates of Ionizing Radiation.
These are followed by 5. a section on Mutagenesis, 6. a section on
Chromosome Aberrations Induced by Low Doses and Low-Dose Rates of
Ionizing Radiation, 7. Oncogenic Transformation In Vitro and Genomic
Instability, 8. Carcinogenic Effects in Laboratory Animals, 9. Carcinogenic
Effects in Human Populations"Epidemiological Data, 10. Adaptive
Responses, 11. Research Needs, and concluding with 12. Discussion and
Conclusions.
