Title: Health effects of low-level radiation in shipyard workers. Final report: [Draft]

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10103020· OSTI ID:10103020

The Nuclear Shipyard Workers Study (NSWS) was designed to determine whether there is an excess risk of leukemia or other cancers associated with exposure to low levels of gamma radiation. The study compares the mortality experience of shipyard workers who qualified to work in radiation areas to the mortality of similar workers who hold the same types of jobs but who are not authorized to work in radiation areas. The population consists of workers from six government and two private shipyards.
