Contrary to what you may have heard or read there
is such thing as 'safe" or harmless dose of
radiation. Any amount is geneticalIy undesirable
because it causes mutations - that is, sudden un-
practicable biological changes. And over 60 per
cent Of such mutations are harmful
The delayed reaction
Nuclear testing by us or the Russians
results also in leukemia, bone cancer and other
abhorrent ailments in the present population, as
well as many thousands of hereditary defects in
populations of the future. For each amount of
radiation received, there is probability of dying
sooner. Because both the somatic and genetic
defects are concealed or delayed, they cannot,
individually, be recognized as stemmng from todays
radiation. But the damage done to later generations
will probably be very much greater, all told, than to
the directly exposed individuals.

been concentrated where the Soviet tests were
made, its citizens will continue to be exposed to it
far more than we.
Despite these dangers from testing to us and the
