Romance was the last thing on her mind. He was an island-chief-to-be with bad-boy appeal who smoked and drove a motorcycle up and down the airport runway.

Many of the service members involved later claimed this resulted in cancers, blood disorders and other illnesses. ... compel the VA to acknowledge that veterans at Palomares participated in a radiation-risk activity that would make any radiogenic conditions they developed presumptively service-connected.

This is evidence of a beneficial (hormetic) effect of low-dose ionizing radiation and argues against radiogenic causation of either solid cancer or ... the Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation (BEIR committee) (12) still endorsed LNT for solid cancers and, further, attributed a risk 2–3 times higher in children.

Patients who received a total absorbed radiation dose in the range of 5–30 cGy (5–30 rads) had a breast cancer incidence up to one third less than the ... leukemia rates in these patients, as leukemia is considered among the most radiosensitive of cancers and occurs faster than other radiogenic cancers.

“It is well-documented that the benefits of screening significantly outweigh the radiogenic breast cancer risk.” Still, an annual 100,000 screenings of middle-aged and older women result in an average 125 breast cancers and 16 deaths. Seimenis and colleagues explored the informational and opinion ...
