[ RadSafe ] RE: Did the French Academy publish their report?

[Muckerheide, James]

Dear Dr. Parthasarathy,

I've sent the final separately. They are preparing a technical supporting
document that was to be ready "in the summer."  I don't know for sure about
their plans for an English version.

The contrary conclusions can be understood as the normal practice of a
scientific review vs. the normal practice of the
ICRP/NCRP/BEIR/UNSCEAR/IAEA/IRPA/IARC etc. cabal that have produced such
documents for decades to maintain the radiation phobia desired by the gov't
agencies.  

There are some very knowledgeable research scientists at Bhaba, Kesavan and
others, who may be able to speak on this.

As with the scientiss in most nations that were doing substantial work in the
'90s, gov't pressure instigated by ICRP/IAEA and others have reduced the
funding and approval of relevant work.

Regards, Jim Muckerheide (Mr. :-)

Subject: Did the French Academy publish their report?
 
Dear Dr.Muckerheide,
 
A few weeks ago you posted the executive summary of  the report by the French
Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Medicine questioning the
scientific validity of LNT "hypothesis". Was it published? Is it available in
the open domain?
 
It is a bit strange that two learned academies come to  opposite conclusions
by apparently(we still do not have access to the papers they used, to come to
different conclusions!) using the same scientific peer reviewed papers. What
will the nonexperts including the newspaper writers do?
 
I preserved a copy of  the summary you sent. I am interested to get  the full
report. Is it available in electronic form? Two recent developments will keep
us busy for some time. Apart from the NAS BEIR VII report, the paper in the
latest issueof the BMJ by Cardis et. al. is also of interest.  I am expecting
calls  from the national news agencies and newspapers. 
 
The Times of India, the most widely circulated multi edition newspaper in
India has carried the Associated Press version of the story. The font  is so
large, I suspect that that they exhausted the entire stock of black ink they
have!
 
Regards
K.S.Parthasarathy
