Symposium: "Recent Studies of Low-Level Radiation and Implications for Medicine and the Nuclear Industry"


A Symposium entitled, "Recent Studies of Low-Level Radiation and Implications for Medicine and the Nuclear Industries," will be held at the New York Academy of Medicine in New York on the weekend of September 26 and 27, 1998. This promises to be an important medical event because this new data on low-level radiation is making obsolete the radiation standards derived from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki studies.


A sponsor of the event is the Department of Preventive Medicine and Community Health at the New Jersey Medical School. The symposium has been organized by a group called "Standing for Truth About Radiation," (STAR), which is based on Long Island in New York. STAR's Vice-President is Helen Caldicott, M.D., the Founding President of Physicians for Social Responsibility, the group that organized the original symposia on the Medical Consequences of Nuclear War in the 1980s.


The 2-day program will include talks by respected epidemiologists, physicians, scientists, and others, including Alice Stewart, Steven Wing, Greg Wilkinson, Richard Clapp, Tony Mazzochi, Arjun Makhijani, Steve Frishman, Diane D'Arrigo, Mary Olson, Jonathon Schell, and Admiral Gene Carroll. The Symposium will provide a forum for open debate and discussion, and possibly some resolution of the current regulatory dilemma.


There will be a reception on the evening of Saturday, the 26th.
