Iodine-131 Fallout from Underground Tests II.

In a recent report (1), List, Telegadas, and Ferber take issue with my earlier conclusion (2) that vented underground tests in Nevada were the probable sources for the repeated occurrences of iodine-131 fallout in midwestern United States during May 1962. In doing so they provide no evidence to establish that the underground shots in question were contained, but they suggest that precipitation ...

Radioactive fallout and neural tube defects

Radioactive fallout; Chernobyl; Fukushima; Neural tube defects; Anencephaly; Spina bifida Abstract Possible link between radioactivity and the occurrence of neural tube defects is a long lasting debate since the Chernobyl nuclear fallout in 1986. A recent report on the incidence of neural defects in the west coast of USA, following Fukushima disaster, brought another evidence for effect of radi...
