Congressional doubts foul Nagasaki radiation study findings

Seven Democratic congressmen questioned the National Academy of Sciences review on veterans exposed to radiation in Nagasaki. They urged an Office of Technology Assessment review of NRC methods, amid calls that the work was slovenly and could affect plans for a broad health study of 220000 veterans from Hiroshima Nagasaki and atomic tests. The NRA veterans group had denounced the NRC report when issued last month.
