The emerging scientific consensus on the meaninglessness of the key concept of radiation dose
The latest edition of the Low Level Radiation Campaign's Journal Radioactive Times is now published as a PDF on http://www.llrc.org.
Of great topical relevance in view of the pressure for new nuclear build this edition covers:
* The full story of CERRIE (the UK Government's Committee Examining Radiation Risks of Internal Emitters) – how it failed and why;
* Where CERRIE stands in the wider debate on how Governments obtain science advice;
* The emerging scientific consensus on the meaninglessness of the key concept of radiation dose (Since "dose" is the only language regulators have for quantifying risk, challenges to emissions authorisations are inevitable and are already underway);
* New evidence of cancer and leukaemia that falsifies existing risk estimates;
* European plans to enforce clearance and recycling of radioactively contaminated materials into consumer products;
* and a good deal more.
