Journal article
The acute radiation dose-response mortality function and accident dosimetry
Creators
- 1. Materials Research Labs., Maribyrnong (Australia)
Description
Recent determinations of the dose-response function correlating acute whole-body radiation dose with expected incidence of early mortality are reviewed. Methodologies are compared, and an updated dose-response function is nominated. The incertainity in this functions is shown to have important implications with regard to the accuracy neccessary in accident dosimetry for useful mortality prognosis. 11 refs., 2 tabs., 6 figs
