There was some discussion a few weeks ago about the rate of incidence of
childrens leaukaemia resulting from the fathers preconception dose as
described in the Gardner report.

The editorial, written by JA Dennis, of the journal Radiation Protection
Dosimetry, Vol 69 no. 4 pp 243-246 is devoted to a short summary of the
build up to the Gardner report, the report itself and a comprehensive
summary of the follow up reports and investigations.

It is well worth reading.
