Program Description:
In 1990, CNR's next monograph set forth the human evidence and strong logical case against the attractive "safe dose" hypothesis that DNA-damage from exposure to ionizing radiation is fully and correctly repaired whenever the exposure occurs below an assumed "threshold" dose-level. Consequently, CNR's 1990 monograph was also the first strong challenge to the hormetic hypothesis, that exposure at low doses might improve health.

Program Description:
CNR's 1990, 1995, and 1999 monographs were respectfully reviewed in such venues as Choice (American Library Assn. journal for academic libraries), the Journal of the Amer. Medical Assn, the New England J. of Medicine, and the American J. of Roentgenology. CNR's monographs characteristically demonstrated that it is possible to solve key questions in radiation science that government-funded organizations had asserted could not yet be solved.

Program Description:
In 1995, CNR's next monograph provided evidence that the U.S. population's accumulated exposures to medical x-rays are a major cause of breast cancer (USA). In 1999, CNR's next monograph contained the discoveries that accumulated exposures to medical x-rays are a necessary casual co-actor in over half the fatal cases of all major classes of cancer and of coronary artery disease (USA). Extensive peer-review has not invalidated these important conclusions.

Program Description:
In 1986, CNR provided an independent estimate of the cumulative health consequences over time in Europe and the USSR from just the cesium fallout produced by the Chernobyl accident. In 1993, our much longer monograph (described in St. Petersburg as "a scientific masterpiece") was published in the Russian language and sold out.
