title: Estimation of the temporal distribution and dose dependency of lung cancers among workers of nuclear fuel reprocessing plants.
abstract: Lung cancer mortality among 4,279 workers at the Mayak nuclear complex who were exposed to chronic irradiation both externally and internally from incorporation of plutonium was analyzed in terms of a linear relative risk model. It is estimated that excess lung cancer risk is about 1.9 Sv(-1), with an average latent period of 24 y.
