The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation performed a comprehensive review of the hereditary risks to offspring following parental exposure to radiation. This report includes an evaluation of those diseases, which have both hereditary and environmental components, the so-called multifactor diseases. The information presented in this report suggests that radiation is less likely to have adverse genetic effects than had been assumed. This report provides a scientific basis for estimating radiation risk, establishing radiation protection and safety standards and regulating radiation sources for governments and organizations throughout the world.--Publisher's description.
