Description

The entire Argonne Radiological Impact Program is briefly outlined, and part of the program dealing with radiation hazards from nuclear power plants is discussed in detail. Various models and predictions of carcinogenic hazard are examined and compared with actual experience in U. S. and foreign populations. All of the models predict a significant increment in malignant mortality with increasing background. Observation of the actual populations at risk shows not only no increment, but an actual decrement, so that these predictions are left quite without observational support. It is concluded that extrapolation of high- rate and usually hlgh dose-level studies to … continued below

Observation of the actual populations at risk shows not only no increment, but an actual decrement, so that these predictions are left quite without observational support. It is concluded that extrapolation of high- rate and usually hlgh dose-level studies to low rates and low levels is probably invalid, and that radiation at such levels and rates does not constitute an environmental carcinogen of significance.
