The Overestimation of Medical Consequences of Low-Dose Exposure to Ionizing Radiation, 2nd Edition

By: Sergei V. Jargin

This book analyzes bias and conflicts of interest in numerous papers exaggerating the medical and biological consequences of low-dose radiation. After the Chernobyl accident, many publications overestimated its medical consequences. Among the motives for doing so were financing, international help, publication pressure, and the pressure to write numerous theses and articles throughout one’s scientific career. The accident has been exploited to strangle nuclear energy, thus boosting fossil fuel prices. Nuclear facilities are potential targets in armed conflicts. One of the motives to unleash the war in Ukraine and threats to use nuclear weapons seems to be boosting fossil fuel prices. In more developed countries, antinuclear resentments have been supported by Green activists, well in agreement with the interests of fossil fuel vendors, several companies and certain governments. Today, there are no alternatives to nuclear energy. This book argues that, in the long run, non-renewable fossil fuels will become more expensive, contributing to excessive population growth in oil-producing regions and poverty elsewhere.

The Overestimation of Medical Consequences of Low-Dose Exposure to Ionizing Radiation

By: Sergei V. Jargin

This book shows that the medical consequences of low-dose, low-rate exposures to ionizing radiation have been overestimated by certain scientists, which apparently occurred in accordance with unofficial policies and directives. It analyses and exposes the biases and hidden conflicts of interest in numerous scientific publications overestimating the medico-biological consequences of low-dose radiation. After the Chernobyl accident, many publications exaggerated its medical consequences. Among the motives for this were financing, publication pressure, and career prospects. The accident has been exploited to strangle nuclear energy, thus boosting fossil fuel prices. In more developed countries, anti-nuclear sentiments have been supported by green activists, in agreement with the interests of fossil fuel producers, certain companies and governments. Today, however, there are no alternatives to nuclear energy; in the long run, non-renewable fossil fuels will become more expensive, contributing to the excessive population growth in oil-producing regions and to poverty elsewhere.
