Fisture Accomplishments.

-

The techniaues and expertise developed in the course of this study could se
‘sed to reassess doses to soaulations in other areas subjected to exposure fron
Fallout or aven these resulting irom occupational situations in the past. Additionally, this study will provide a better estimate of the crue valua for thyroid nodule incidence ser unit vad enabling technically sound risk faccars to Se
associatad with ltoaizing radiacion exposure.
