Healthy Worker Effect



Why can't the observed data derived from epidemiological studies of persons
exposed to ionizing radiation that demonstrate cancer incidence or cancer
mortality lower than that for the controls be interpreted as a hormetic
effect?  Why is it always interpreted as a "healthy worker effect?"  Any
comments?  Al Tschaeche xat@inel.gov
