Studies of workers exposed to low doses of external radiation.
Currently, several epidemiologic studies of workers who have been exposed occupationally to low levels of radiation are being conducted. They include studies of workers in the United States, Great Britain, and Canada involved in the production of both defense materials and nuclear power. This paper focuses on studies evaluating the possible adverse effects that result from external exposure to radiation.
