TL;DR: The findings do not support the ICRP 60 risk guideline assumption of a 5-Gy threshold for “detectable opacities” from protracted exposures but rather point to a dose–effect threshold of under 1 Gy.

TL;DR: A cohort of 8,607 Ukrainian Chernobyl clean-up workers during 1986–1987 was formed to study cataract formation after ionizing radiation exposure, and Beta-particle doses to the lens were estimated with an algorithm devised to take into account the nature and location of Chernobyl work, time since the accident, and protective measures taken.
