Re: [cdn-nucl-l] Fw: Nuclear shipyard worker study



Dear John,
 
Dr. John Cameron, a member of the Technical Advisory Panel that reviewed the NSWS as it progressed, recently submitted a 17-page article on this study to the Health Physics Journal.  It is a very clear explanation of how the NSWS was carried out and the results obtained.  Hopefully it will be published soon and clarify this matter.
 
While there was asbestos involved, the workers that were compared did similar work.
 
There still appears to be a rather strong correlation between radiation exposure and mortality.

Why not down load it from this site for free?

I'll tell you, I really don't think this was a
radiation related study, but more an asbestos
study.  The radiation exposures were much too
low to be meaningful (just a few percent of
background exposures in most cases).
