With the relatively short time that Shepard spent in space compared to
the shuttle and Skylab astronauts, I think that this is unproveable.

Fellow Radsafers,
With the recent passing of Alan
Shepard, one of the original seven
astronauts, who died of Leukemia, one
might wonder whether his increased
exposure to cosmic radiation had any
relevance. Cause for discussion.
