Drs. George
Daniel and Helen Park of the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases,
(1953) state: "During the course of work on the effect of high
energy radiation on protozoa it was observed that isolation cultures of
Paramecium caudatum in a certain group of depression slides consistently
produced a larger number of individuals than similar cultures in supposedly
identical slides. Chance measurements showed that the former group of slides
was slightly radioactive, while the other was not." Professor and Chairman Emeritus of the Department of Biochemistry, of the U. Missouri-Columbia School of Medicine, Dr. T.D. Luckey reports (1978) in an abstract that: In the Abstract, Kozlov A.A., Dadunashvili K.S., Kakhidze I.G., Tumanishvili T.G. and Kharatishvili, N.M., in "Results of irradiating chick embryos during incubation with very low doses of penetrating radiation"(1987), state: Dr. D.W. Sugg, and his colleagues in the U.S. and the Ukraine discuss (1996) DNA damage to aquatic animals near Chernobyl: Dr. Zofia Komala of the Department of Experimental Zoology, Polish Academy of Sciences,
