UNSCEAR 2000 Report Relieves Many Fears of Radioactive Fallout
Radiological societies around the world point to the UNSCEAR 2000 report as a persuasive argument against the Linear No-Threshold theory. Simply explained, this theory argues that since we know large radiation doses are very harmful, and moderate radioation doses are somewhat harmful, then small radiation doses must be also be harmful.
The UNSCEAR 2000 report is available as a set of Adobe Acrobat files from the UNSCEAR website.
The major points of the UNSCEAR 2000 report are summarized in The Truth About Chernobyl Is Told, a three page document written by the former chairman of UNSCEAR.
