Description
The health data from the atomic-bomb survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki serve as the prime basis for risk estimates of delayed effects induced by ionizing radiation. Dose estimates have been performed by means of the dosimetry system DS86 which allows the calculation of individual doses. Up to now a variety of long-lived radionuclides such as 32P (T1/2 = 14.3d), 60Co (T1/2 = 5.27y), 152Eu (T1/2 = 13.3y), 36Cl (T1/2 300000y), '41Ca (T1/2 = 103000y) and 63Ni (T1/2 = 101.4y) have been used for validation of DS86 neutron fluences. All of these isotopes were measured in inorganic materials, such as granite, concrete or copper
