At the time the Bikini book was prepared no agency in the U.S. government
had accepted the risk coefficients in BEIR-III.
to use risk coefficients from BEIR-I.
Thus we were constrained
While not included in the printed
book, risk estimates based on BEIR-III were calculated for comparison
purposes.
The following gives the origin of the risk coefficients used.
