Responding to questions about the Hiroshima long term radiation study

Responding to questions about the Hiroshima long term radiation study

There are some people who are saying that the Hiroshima long term radiation study has flaws in it

They referred to a 16 pager that claims issues with the study. The counter references are mostly not in any peer reviewed journals. So if the claim of improper cohorts has some validity there is still the raw data for re-comparing to different cohorts. So where are those journal comparisons ?

They are claiming that instead of 5% more cancer risk it could be 40%. That is for far higher radiation dosages at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
