TL;DR: Measurements made using thermal luminescent and optically stimulated luminescence, like earlier measurements, could be expanded to detect possible radiation exposures to beta particles and to determine the extent of the various residual radiation areas at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

TL;DR: Recently reported studies of residual radiation exposure in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were reviewed at a technical session at the 57th Annual Meeting of the Health Physics Society in Sacramento, California, and a one-day workshop was held to evaluate their potential use in clarifying the residual radiation exposures to the atomic-bomb survivors.

TL;DR: The Million Person Study (MPS) of U.S. Radiation Workers and Veterans was designed to examine health effects following chronic exposures in contrast with brief exposures as experienced by the Japanese atomic bomb survivors.

TL;DR: Information is provided on a number of significant ongoing initiatives examining health effects associated with low-dose ionizing radiation exposure, and a list of DOE policies and standards for protection of its workers, the public, and the environment.
