Senior Medical Investigator Emeritus
Nobel Laureate (Physiology or Medicine 1977) Dr. Rosalyn Yalow, Bronx VA Medical Center,
and Solomon A. Berson, Distinguihed Professor-at-Large, Mt. Sinai School of Medicine,
report (1994) on bomb test observers that: "The National Academy of Sciences National Research Council analyzed 46,186 nuclear weapons-test participants, showing 10 leukemia-related deaths (3.97 expected) among the 1957 Operation Smoky participants. However, only 1 of those 10 was exposed to more than 3 rem. There were no increases in other cancers. Conversely, three thousand 1951 Operation Greenhouse participants had 1 leukemia death (4.43 expected). These are typical statistical variations with small numbers. Of all weapons-test participants, there is no excess cancer." (Robinette 1985)"
