Delayed damage from fallout and activated radiation of A-bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Description
In connection with an alternative approach to assess the risk of delayed damage from fallout and activated radiation of the A-bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the total doses absorbed were determined separately for the '0-9 rad T65D' and 'NIC' (Not In City) groups of individuals. The risk of organ damage from loosely ionising radiation in the low dose range was calculated on the basis of quantitative observations for mammary carcinomas and leukemia. Account was further taken of predictions about the dose-response relationship, including theories supporting the likelihood of linear and quadratic curves for the two organ lesions under investigation. The incidence of these diseases as indicated by the overall cancer index for Japan was taken as a control value. (ECB)

Im Rahmen einer modifizierten Risikoabschaetzung der Spaetschaeden durch Fallout- und Aktivierungsstrahlung der Atombomben auf Hiroshima und Nagasaki wurde eine vollstaendige Dosisbestimmung fuer die bestrahlten Personengruppen '0-9 rad T 65 D' und 'NIC' (not in city) vorgenommen. Die Bewertung des somatischen Risikos im Niedrigdosisbereich fuer locker ionisierende Strahlung erfolgte durch Quantifizierung der Effekte am Beispiel von Brustkrebs und Leukaemie. Aussagen ueber den Verlauf der Dosiswirkungskurven bzw. die Ueberpruefung der linear-quadratischen Hypothesen fuer die zwei in Betracht gezogenen Spaetschaeden mit der Variante der japanischen Nationalrate als Kontrolle waren weitere Bewertungskriterien.
