New Rocketdyne study

[Ruth Weiner <rfweine@sandia.gov>]

     Dear Radsafers,
     
     I learned of a new study of Rocketdyne workers that showed some excess 
     cancers in workers with relatively high radiation exposures.  The 
     executive summary of the study was released, but not the study itself. 
      It was done by three researchers at UCLA and seems to have been 
     reasonable epidemiology EXCEPT that these workers had heavy exposure 
     to hydrazine, among other confounding factors, which was not 
     considered.  I would be interested in knowing how the study corrected 
     for smoking, changes in dosimetry over the 30-year period of the 
     study, etc.  Does anyone know how a copy of the study can be obtained?
