How the Greens Came to Love Nuclear Power & Weapons. Dr Chris Busby, Radiation Cancer Risk, Fracking
'Re the question about the chain of custody: The lead and cadmium perturbation could only have resulted from high energy neutrons. If these have been planted, the people planting them would have had to create them in a nuclear reactor especially to fool me.' Dr Chris Busby ECRR 2003 was dedicated to Prof. Alice M Stewart, the first scientist to demonstrate the exquisite sensitivity of the human organism to ionizing radiation. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Chris-Busby-2 The first Chair of the ECRR. The Committee dedicated the 2010 volume to the memory of Prof. Edward P Radford. Radford was appointed Chair of the BEIR III committee of the US National Academy of Sciences. His BEIR report in 1979 drew attention to the inadequacies of the then-current radiation risk model. It was withdrawn and suppressed but he resigned and published a dissenting report. His career was destroyed. In 2009 the ECRR awarded the Ed Radford Memorial Prize, donated by his widow Jennifer and the Radford family in the USA to Prof. Yuri I Bandashevsky who first drew attention to the effects of internal radioactivity from Chernobyl on the health of the children of Belarus and was rewarded by arrest and imprisonment. This 2025 report is dedicated to Dr Herman Müller, who, as early as 1952 accurately warned about the dangers to the genetic integrity of human beings resulting from the contamination of the biosphere by fission and nuclear fuel cycle radionuclides. The Committee would like to acknowledge considerable debt to the late Stuart Smith, Esq, of New Orleans for his constant support and encouragement. 1.

Executive Summary 13 3 Scientific Method, Causation and Proof 22 4 The history of the construction and maintenance of the historic (ICRP) radiation risk model 25 5. Information Control, Scientific Dishonesty, failure of Government. 41 6 New evidence of failure of the ICRP model since ECRR2010 52 6.1 The dishonesty of the Japanese Lifespan Study (LSS) 52 6.2 The LSS revisited with an unexposed control group shows that the principal source of the Hiroshima cancer risk was not the prompt gamma ray and neutron exposure but was the internal exposure to residual Uranium-234 particulates from the black rain residues. 54 6.3 Studies of nuclear workers 57 6.4 Nuclear powered ship sailors have large excess cancer risk 60 6.5 Cancer risk in those living near nuclear sites 61 6.6 Medical exposures: CAT scans.
