Compendium of evidence
Publication, peer review, and credibility
It may be agued that some of the studies we cite should be disregarded,
as they have not been published in the peer reviewed literature. Our
reply is that the peer review system is suspect. Some of the studies
which were so published ought not to have passed reviewers' scrutiny
(e.g. Darby 1993, Parkin 1996); some have been rejected on demonstrably
false grounds (e.g. Stewart 2000 - see reference below and text for reviewers' opinions: the Second Event theory - reviewers' opinions
are reproduced in Busby 1995).
This is a quis custodiet? problem - the reviewers are
in many cases inside the establishment. At the same time they publish
voluminously without review. For example, Dr.McKinley, head of the
Non-Ionising Radiation Department of the NRPB was cross-examined as
expert witness for the defence in a recent court case. Asked about his
qualifications and publications, Dr. McKinley said that he had obtained
his Doctorate at the Paisley College of Technology after he had started
working for the NRPB, and that his entire working career had been
with NRPB. He said he had written over a hundred papers but that none
of them had been subject to peer review - his work had mainly
been published by the NRPB itself. The one work cited by the defence
as an external publication was an EU experts group review of previous
research; Dr.McKinley himself chaired the group. His expertise is
solely in dosimetry and he said he was unqualified to answer any questions
about biology or the biological effects of non-ionising radiation.
Similarly, the studies which underlie the Council Directive 96/29
(Basic Safety Standards) are in-house publications by the nuclear
industry, its regulators, and the secretive Article 31 Group of experts
which advises the European Commission on radiation protection matters.
Public scrutiny and informed political debate are not permitted.

NOTE: Dr Steward has told Dr Busby that he was the author of this paper. In July 1999 he told LLRC (in a telephone conversation) that he did not. LLRC wrote to the Chief Medical Officer for Wales to ask who did write the paper (and, since peer review seems to be such a big deal, who reviewed it) But she didn't know. Another failure of the peer review system.
... it is very odd that burns have been included in the analysis of this paper; this hardly seems to be an effect caused by exposure to radiation.
