Exposure to ionising radiation and cancer mortality among workers at the Hanford plant
Description
This report analyses the raw data relating to cancer mortality among employees at the Hanford plant in Richland, Washington, U.S.A., and the NRPB conclusions are discussed in relation to those of various other analyses, including those of the Mancuso report. The NRPB analysis confirmed the expectation that one would not expect to be able to detect the influence of radiation on the patterns of the Hanford workforce. (U.K.)
