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.
