Draft ICRP - promotes panic from using LNT (radiological attack)
"Those Americans who learn the facts about hormesis will be less likely to
panic if subjected to light fallout from the explosion in the United States
of a few nuclear weapons -." Kearny,C, Nuclear War Survival Skills p282
www.oism.org $20.
But, from the International Commission on Radiation Protection draft report
(below):
"Above an existing annual dose of about 10 mSv [= 1 CT!] intervention may
likely be necessary -". Draft ICRP below, p74 "-residual continuous extant
doses towards 100 mSV [optimal benefit!] may lead to an almost always
justified resettlement." (p71) "It is assumed - that an increment in dose
will produce an increment in the probability of incurring cancer or
hereditary effects [LNT hoax]." (p40) "Low dose: -100mSv- Biological
Effect -No acute effects, subsequent long-term enhanced risk of incurring
cancer of about 0.5%" [contrary to evidence] (from graph p13 and also p43).
However, from ChenWL, LuanYC et al J Am Physicians and Surgeons 9/1 Spring
2004 p6 www.jpands.org, "-cancer mortality-3.5/100,000 person years [vs 116
expected] - congenital malformation 1.5/1,000 [vs 23 expected]" following
average 400mSv!
Also, atom bomb surviivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki receiving under 100 mSv
acute dose had FEWER breast cancers than expected (27 vs 34, as I recall).
I hope that Pollycove, Muckerheide and others much better informed than
myself will correct this ICRP report before it imposes an SOP that causes
needless panic in an all too possible nuclear attack.
