TL;DR: The systemic biokinetic model for plutonium currently recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has been modified to reflect recently developed data and facilitate interpretation of case-specific information.

TL;DR: The updated dosimetry database, “Doses-2005,” represents a significant improvement in the determination of absorbed organ dose from external radiation and plutonium intake for the original cohort of 18,831 Mayak workers.

TL;DR: Comparisons with Russian liver cancer incidence rates indicate excess risk, especially among those with detectable plutonium body burdens and among female workers in the plutonium plant, and within the Mayak worker cohort, which evaluate the role of plutonium body burden with adjustment for cumulative external dose.

TL;DR: Koshurnikova et al. as mentioned in this paper evaluated bone cancer mortality risks in 11,000 workers who started working at the “Mayak” Production Association in 1948-1958 and who were exposed to both internally deposited plutonium and external γ radiation.

TL;DR: The modified Mayak Worker Dosimetry System-2008 more correctly describes plutonium biokinetics and metabolism in pulmonary lymph nodes and provides two sets of doses estimates: one based on bioassay data and the other based on autopsy data, where available.
