Description
In 1979, in response to concern about the effects of occupational radiation doses, the UKAEA commissioned the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine to carry out an epidemiological study of the health of its workforce. Two papers have been published; the first dealt with the mortality of AEA workers up to 1979 and the second covered mortality to 1986 and cancer morbidity to 1984. This report is a fuller account of the data presented in the latter paper. (author)
