While I believe the radiation was harmless, I see another explanation. They fudged the results so much (the DOE and the military are experts at lies and cover-ups) that they ended up with a conclusion no one could believe and that could lead to an investigation.

Hi Jack: Is the Cameron study an update of the Matanoski, or official version of it?

Sponsler and Cameron was definitely not an official version. There is no official version. All we have is the draft that Johns Hopkins submitted to DOE which somehow got public. S and C was commentary on the draft making some of the points I did. Cameron was on the study review committee. Finally in 2008, Matanoski published her own comments.. She was very non-committal claiming that the power of the study was unable to disprove LNT. Of course, this required making LNT the null hypothesis. Matanoski was clearly part of the establishment, but to her credit there is no evidence that she fudged anything.

DOE's problem was that they had a surprising, unwanted result and a research team which wasnt willing to mess with the numbers.
