TL;DR: The Committee judged that the available epidemiologic data were broadly supportive of the LNT model and that at this time no alternative dose-response relationship appears more pragmatic or prudent for radiation protection purposes.

TL;DR: The review found that many, though not all, studies of solid cancer supported the continued use of the linear no-threshold model in radiation protection, and no alternative dose-response relationship appears more pragmatic or prudent for radiation protection purposes than the linearNo-th threshold model.

TL;DR: The creation of a voxel model of a Dungeness crab from CT images with shell, gills, gonads, hepatopancreas, and heart identified and segmented is described, and results suggest that AF values are highly dependent on source organ location and mass.

TL;DR: The Pu distribution in the Maralinga mammalian wildlife generally aligns with previous studies related to environmental exposure, but contrasts with the partitioning models that have traditionally been used for human worker-protection purposes (approximately equal deposition in bone and liver) which appear to under-predict the skeletal accumulation in environmental exposure conditions.

TL;DR: A review of dosimetry used in epidemiological studies currently being considered for a re-evaluation of the linear no-threshold assumption as a basis for radiation protection by the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
