The article highlighted on the June 13, 1956 front-page of the New York Times was the product of demonstrable science fraud committed by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The subject report by the NAS is a foundational document for the junk science that is the linear no-threshold model used in regulatory risk assessment. If you want the story on the NAS report, watch Episode 12, Episode 13 and Episode 14 of the Health Physics Society’s video series entitled, “The Historical Foundations of the Linear No-Threshold Dose-Response Model for Cancer Risk Assessment.” This is a mere teaser for LNT news to be broken on this page that will rock the radiation safety and regulatory risk assessment bureaucracy. So get informed and stay tuned. It’s recommended that you watch the entire 22-part HPS video series ASAP so you can better appreciate the news when it breaks.
