From the publication:

On April 24th 1996, almost exactly ten years after the Chernobyl accident, over
a hundred scientists, doctors, radiation researchers, politicians campaigners and
mothers and fathers attended a joint Low Level Radiation Campaign/ MEDACT sponsored
symposium at the House of Commons in London. They were there because of their
fears that nuclear pollution, from man-made radioactivity, was killing people. They
had come because a novel theory, the Second Event theory advanced by Chris Busby,
suggested that certain man-made radio-isotopes could bypass cellular genetic repair
mechanisms and cause cancer at very low dose. They had come to discuss the
evidence and the theoretical arguments that suggested that there were large errors
in the establishment-held belief that exposures to ionizing radiation at doses below
Natural Background levels were relatively harmless. They came to hear the radiation
risk establishment defend their risk factors, numbers which are used by governments
to regulate exposure and permit releases from nuclear plants. This book is a full
transcription of the proceedings and includes also contributions made by those,
from many parts of the world, who could not attend.
