Comments on 'Impact of tritium around EDF nuclear power plants' Reply

摘要

I would like to express my appreciation for the insights provided by Little and Lambert into their highly informative publication on retrospective research (Little and Lambert 2008). The only point of divergence between the paper and the authors' of these comments is the relative weight of the results of studies concerning tritiated thymidine when calculating RBE. In their comments, Little and Lambert go back over the two studies selected for their review and included in the AGIR 2007 report (AGIR 2007). A notable point is that both these relatively old studies concern the same organ, i.e. the testicle, and practically the same tissue, responsible for gametogenesis.
