1. Why the problem of genomic instability is important for radiation epidemiology and radiation safety?
2. Paradox of past years: the statement on radiation-induced genomic instability (RIGI) at low dose radiation dominates in the scientific reviews and forums, but not in experimental works.
3. The author’s publications on RIGI at low dose radiation and their primary consequences:
3.1. International» consequences.
3.2. "Russian" consequences.
4. Interpretation of RIGI phenomenon in documents of the International organizations of 2000th.
5. Likely end of the myth about RIGI at low dose radiation with low LET (2012).
6. Conclusion.
Key words: radiation-induced genomic instability, low dose radiation, low LET radiation
