Radiation safety: New international standards

by Abel J. Gonzalez B*y the end of the 1980s, a vast amount of new information had accumulated to prompt a new look at the standards governing protection against exposures to ionizing radiation and the safety of radiation sources. First and foremost, a re-evaluation of the radioepidemiological findings from Hiroshima and Nagasaki suggested that exposure to lowlevel radiation was riskier than pr...

Detailed discussions were held during an RCM at IAEA Headquarters on 18-19 October 2004 to review the progress made in the CRP on “Tritium Inventory in Fusion Reactors”. Participants summarized the specific results obtained during the initial phase of the Coordinated Research Project (CRP), and considered the impact of the data generated on the design of fusion devices. Areas with further resea...

**report from the Bmj's Manuscript Committee Meeting**

Unfortunately, all retrospective cohort studies are subject to unmeasured confounders, and research using large datasets collected for non-research purposes, such as in this study, is no different. However, we have performed a rigorous analysis of these data, and our findings are novel, biologically plausible, and clinically relevant; given the rarity of perioperative stroke and MI, it is unlik...
