Description
A collaborative effort of the (IPSN), Institut de Protection et de Surete Nucleaire (CEA) and the medical staff of the mines, Compagnie Beneralo des Matieres Nucleaires (COGEMA) made possible the start of an epidemiological study of the uranium miners in France. At the present stage of the study an important part of the dosimetric information and the death statistics of the miners, having experienced for at least three months of underground mining during the period 1947-1972, have been collected. The data need more verification before being analysed. Even though 25% of the death causes are still unknown, an excess of mortality by lung cancer appears in this cohort
