With regard to the citation given below, what was the period over which

these exposures were received?  One hour, one month, one year, one decade?

It is also interesting that the per centages are all about the same, even

though the range is so broad.  Any comments?



Am also pleased that Dr. Yarmoshenko reported information that was

previously confirmed by the Japanese studies, e.g., the mortality of

children born of exposed individuals did not have a higher incidence of

cancer or fatal congenital malformations.

population evacuated from the East-Urals radioactive trace area.  The Sci.

Total Environ.142:119-125 (1994).



This article reports cancer mortality in 7852 Eastern Urals villagers

following radiation exposure produced by the 1957 Mayak thermal explosion.

Tumor-related mortality was 28%(P<0.05), 39%(P<0.05), and 27% lower in the

496 mGy, 120 mGy, and 40 mGy groups, respectively, than in the unexposed

villagers.
