Updated Analyses of Combined Mortality Data for Workers at the Hanford Site, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Rocky Flats Weapons Plant

摘要: Updated analyses of mortality data on workers at the Hanford Site, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and Rocky Flats Weapons Plant are presented with objective providing a direct assessment health risks resulting from protracted low-dose exposure to ionizing radiation. For leukemia, combined excess relative risk estimate was negative (-1.0 per Sv), confidence limits excluded that were more than slightly larger those forming basis ICRP recommendations. all cancer except 0.0 Sv, but indicated consistency estimates several times Of 24 types tested, 12 showed positive correlations radiation dose correlations, as would be expected by chance fluctuation. Cancer esophagus, larynx, Hodgkin's disease statistically significant (P < 0.05), these cor...
