50 Years of the Radiation Exposure Information and Reporting System

Derek Hagemeyer et al.

Summary: As the Radiation Exposure Information and Reporting System (REIRS) celebrates its 50th anniversary, it is important to recognize its role in shaping the study of occupational radiation exposure. REIRS has provided valuable dosimetry information for occupational studies and served as a crucial data source for large cohorts in the Million Person Study. Its legacy as a successful tool throughout decades of change is commendable.

MPS dose reconstruction for internal emitters: some site-specific issues and approaches

Richard W. Leggett et al.

Summary: This article discusses the challenges and approaches in dose reconstructions for internal emitters in selected facilities as part of the Million Person Study (MPS). The study found that the potential errors in reconstructed tissue doses vary at different sites, with major sources of error including identification of internal emitters, intake patterns, reliability of bioassay measurements, use of coworker information, and the relation between air monitoring data and actual intake. The article provides important recommendations for improving dose reconstruction efforts, such as the development of best feasible exposure scenarios and the careful use of coworker data.

Mortality from leukemia, cancer and heart disease among US nuclear power plant workers, 1957-2011

John D. Boice et al.

Summary: The Million Person Study of Low-Dose Health Effects aims to examine the radiation risk for chronic exposures received gradually over time among nuclear power plant workers. Prolonged exposure to radiation was found to increase the risk of leukemia other than CLL among NPP workers, but there was little evidence for a radiation association with all solid cancers, lung cancer, or ischemic heart disease. Increased precision is expected as different cohorts within the MPS are combined for analysis.

Mortality among workers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, 1943-2017

John D. Boice et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the mortality experience of 26,328 workers first employed at Los Alamos National Laboratory between 1943 and 1980, with majority being hired before 1960. Most workers had a college degree, and a significant percentage were female, white, and Hispanic. The study found little evidence of radiation increasing the risk of lung cancer or leukemia, but esophageal cancer was associated with radiation and plutonium intakes were linked to an increase in bone cancer. Non-radiation related health issues were also observed among Hispanic workers.

Summary: NASA has been tasked with returning humans to the lunar surface within the next five years, requiring preparation for longer distance and duration spaceflight missions than ever before. Protection from the challenging radiation environment in space is a top priority, with strategies such as physical shielding and space weather monitoring being considered. Medical countermeasures may be necessary for future human exploration missions to address radiation-induced health effects.

Summary: This contribution aims to review and propose approaches for integrating data from radiation biology and epidemiology studies to enhance low-dose health risk assessment. By leveraging the AOP/KE approach, it suggests developing BBDR models for radiation-induced cancers and circulatory diseases. Tight integration of epidemiology data and radiation biology information is considered necessary to improve low-dose radiation risk estimates.

Cognitive effects of low dose of ionizing radiation - Lessons learned and research gaps from epidemiological and biological studies

Elisa Pasqual et al.

Summary: Research has shown that low doses of ionizing radiation can affect cognitive function, but further understanding of the mechanisms is needed. It is important to describe the specific cognitive functions or diseases that may be affected by radiation exposure. Studying individual genetic susceptibility and gene expression may help identify individuals at higher risk of cognitive effects from radiation.

Progressive increase in the complexity and translatability of rodent testing to assess space-radiation induced cognitive impairment

Richard A. Britten et al.

Summary: Ground-based rodent models have shown that space radiation doses significantly impair performance in a wide range of cognitive tasks, with an increase in both complexity and translatability to humans in recent years. Advances in testing approaches and analytical methods are making ground-based studies more amenable to probabilistic risk analysis. Ongoing attempts to address knowledge gaps and the critical role of rodent studies in establishing the impact of space radiation on complex human cognitive tasks are being discussed.
