In late 1969 and 1970, Drs. Gofman and Tamplin issued a series of
technical reports (known as “The G-T Series”)
documenting in detail the much larger association of ionizing
radiation with cancer-causation than had been previously
estimated. These reports examine all the major sources of data
from known, human exposures (including certain medical therapies,
the Hiroshima-Nagasaki data, the uranium miners, the radium
dial-painters) as well as relevant data from animal exposures.
These reports, which are no longer available from the Committee [CNR],
were submitted as testimony to two Congressional Committees, and
are available at large libraries which keep collections of
Congressional Hearings. Three volumes are involved, and the
citations given below are correct. It is no error that testimony
to one Committee is published in the Hearings of a competing
Committee; nor is it an error that the date given to an entire
volume may be earlier than the dates on materials included in
that volume. Congress can operate that way.
