I am aware of studies that have been conducted over the years, by 
EEI, AIF, NUMARC,  EPRI and NEI. These studies asked for a lot of 
dose data to assist in evaluating worker health and occupational 
life-time exposure. All of the studies were either ended prematurely, 
or, were unable to derive the data necessary. The industry as a whole 
determined that each reactor site would have had to expend millions 
of dollars to go back and obtain much of the information, as required 
by the various studies. So, to answer your question, there has been 
NO conclusive study completed with respect to power reactor workers, 
to the best of my knowledge.
