Abstract—This paper presents newly discovered evidence from the personal correspondence of four US National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Biological Effects of Atomic Radiation (BEAR) Genetics Panelists that their 1956 report to the public was written
by a third party and was neither reviewed nor approved by the Panel prior to its publication and release to the public.
