"A-Bomb Fallout"

["Otto G. Raabe" <ograabe@ucdavis.edu>]

June 20, 1997

Dear RadSafers:

On page 50 of the June 23, 1997, issue of TIME magazine is an interesting
report entitled "A-Bomb Fallout" concerning the Washington, DC, meeting last
week commemorating the 50th Anniversary of ABCC and RERF studies of the
Japanese A-bomb survivors. The article by Dick Thompson contrasts the LNT
model with the fact that the low-dose survivors are showing lower
solid-tumor cancer incidence than Japanese people who where not living in
Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

The anti-nuclear groups will bombard TIME with negative letters about this
report. It behooves each of us to write a letter of congratulations to TIME.
This time they got it right! 

Thanks,

OTTO
