Why does the study not include all service personnel who were test participants?
The database for the study was created following the examination of an extensive range of documents which had been compiled during the test programme of the 1950s and 1960s. These included planning documents, technical reports, health physics records, Royal Navy ships’ ledgers and RAF operational record books as well as service records and other documents. Unfortunately however, there never had been any complete log of those involved and so it was not possible to check against such a list.
