Table 2. Summary of annual deaths—5%leaving rate. The age-specific death rates in our steady state population of
radiation workers and ex-workers. Columns C, D and E show the numbers of deaths expected among non-radiation

workers on the basis of table 1. Columns F and Gshowthe predicted numbers of radiation induced deaths on the basis of
A= 10-*rad-t and D = 1 rad/year for risk type A over 30 years (J*) and 50 years (G). Note: to find the expected number

of radiation-induced leukaemia deaths, column F should be scaled by eqn (1) with an appropriate F& (e.g. 3x 107%) |
