Latest Chernobyl Cancer Study Contains Numerous Problems (December 14)
A
November 8 report claiming increased leukemia in Chernobyl clean-up
workers is fraught with problems. Several have been exposed by a recent
Ukrainian expert group. In addition, The Report’s
listing of supportive references with respect to its claim of a CLL/LLR
relationship being “not clear” is materially incorrect. TFurther,he Report
fails to make a comparison between typical non-irradiated leukemia
statistics and those gleaned from Chernobyl worker records. It
appears The Report looks at Chernobyl in isolation from all
necessarily-related statistics: a critical omission that can only have
been intentional.
A Phantom Conflict of Interest in Japan (December 10)
The
international Press reports that a “potential conflict of interest” was
“buried” in last year’s 600-page congressional investigation into the
Fukushima accident. The ICRP members in Japan are taking umbrage with
the allegation made by Dr. Hisako Sukiyama, one of the members of the
Diet's Fukushima Accident Investigative Committee. What’s more important
– a potentiality based on thin evidence or the actual professional
record of those involved?
