…reate the same conclusions using the same data sets that were available to Mangano and Sherman. As Mr. Goddard concludes, Mangano and Sherman are using the datasets incorrectly and come to wrong conclusions. However Mr. Goddard goes further and proves that Mangano and Sherman attempt to actually change widely used terminology to suit their predisposed conclusions against nuclear power. I could accept them attempting to redefine terminology IF and…
…esmen can continue to make a living by opening up shop in a new town. Both Mangano and Sherman have a history of publishing questionable papers or documents that were specifically designed to increase fears of radiation, even if the radiation is at levels so low that careful researchers cannot find it. Mangano is infamous for his efforts to use measurements of strontium-90 found in baby teeth to “prove” that fallout from nearby nuclear power plant…
…l claims about radiation and Fukushima. Here is a link to a pdf version of Mangano and Sherman’s article. The journal in which it was published is not really a scientific journal, but a social science journal. Their referees would not have had the experience to debunk the claims put forward by Mangano and Sherman. A lethal dose of radiation is about 4 Sv Patrick Walden B.Sc.

…ition crowd. In an Op-Ed piece titled Risky coal-for-nukes tradeoff Joseph Mangano, executive director of the Radiation and Public Health Project, a research and educational group based in New York, used some loaded phrases to discourage people from supporting a change in Kentucky law. Quoting from the lead and the conclusion to his piece: Lead: – The Kentucky legislature is considering a proposal to overturn a 1984 ban on building nuclear reactor…
…of real information that does not reference Mary Olson from NIRS, William Mangano, or Helen Caldicott. I must make a confession, however, that would probably disqualify me from ever getting a job as a corporate spokesperson. During one particularly frustrating engagement, my opponent refused to acknowledge that the sun and wind do not provide reliable electricity. I think he misunderstood my invitation to step outside into the still, DARK evening…
…weeks give a weekly ratio of 15.43. We can thus say, by using Sherman and Mangano‘s own way of phrasing it, that this amounts to a decrease of 23% and is statistically significant. — The data for the full time period of weeks 1 – 21 amount to 272 infant deaths over 21 weeks, i.e. a weekly rate of 12.95. This is slightly higher than the weekly rate after Fukushima (12.50). — Janette Sherman and Joseph Mangano have a lot to explain for us…if an…
…uttler, Kondo, and Rockwell vs. Caldicott, Sherman, Gufman, Resnikoff, and Mangano. I prefer the science. Joel Riddle Provide opinions to expose the truth? I think you could have found some better wording for what you were trying to say, Daniel. SteveK9 Although the effects are very small, if they exist at all, and are therefore difficult to measure, I would like to know if there have been any long-term studies involving animals. Long-term for a m…
…e reminded that it needs to have a little more scholarly gravitas than the Mangano/Sherman studies (and it is important to then rehash and eviscerate the Mangano studies). We don’t need to become nasty or hostile, just forceful. RRMeyer And then only publish those that seem to confirm your prejudices and ignore everything else. This has nothing to do with science. Science is about plausible Quantitative links between cause and effect. If the cause…
…ded in his mission to denigrate nuclear energy. Similarly, the Sherman and Mangano team have succeeded in their mission. Their work is all over the world on thousands of websites now, stirring up fear and alarm about babies dying…Concern is one thing but doing shoddy work is another. It needs instant countering and public examination. Someone with great appeal needs to be found who has the time and the expertise to do this work. The bloggers and…
…lear industry that are not at VY are indifferent and say that is VY that’s not me or my plant. This is what is closing plants. Now with this being said, This FRI. at Rockland Community Collage, Alec Baldwin is going to be there for a fund raiser for Joe Mangano(The tooth fairy project )What really gets to me is this. Now Alec Baldwin is a big star on 30 Rock. 30 Rock is on NBC. NBC is owned by GE, The same GE that makes BWR power plants, and suppl…
…m that news article. Heh … another pile of junk science published by the Mangano/Sherman team in an obscure, pay-to-publish crap journal that will literally publish anything and everything (if you are willing to pay). Sadly, some (stupid) people will actually take this junk seriously. Personally, I love how the “Executive Director” of a rabid anti-nuclear group, who has published several books on the “dangers” of nuclear power, is able to get aw…
…e Ian Goddard whose video is featured in the latest Atomic Insights post, “Mangano and Sherman take down”. I would be interested in seeing how you square the two videos, and the two different Atomic Insights posts — or whether in fact you don’t see a logical reason to do so, as I do. PS. FYI, I do believe that there is good evidence to support hormesis. I just don’t believe that evidence exists in the atomic bomb survivors cohort, as Goddard show…
