Source: Bull. At. Sci. (United States) Publication Date: Sep 1978 p 41-46 Document Type: Journal Article Language: English Journal Announcement: EDB7901 (US Atomindex input); TIC ; v 34:7. Coden: (Technical , BASIA Information Center). Country of Origin: United States Abstract: The following topics are discussed: recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection; methods for determining dose limits to workers; use of data from survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki for estimating risk factors; use of data from survivors of nuclear explosions in Marshall Islands, uranium miners, and patients exposed to diagnostic and therapeutic radiation; risk factors for radioinduced malignancies; evidence that risk factors for persons exposed to-partial-body radiation and Japanese survivors are too low; greater resistance of A-bomb survivors to radiation; and radiation doses received by U.K. medical workers and by U.K. fuel reprocessing workers. It is suggested that the dose limit for radiation workers should be reduced by a factor of 5.
