The Million Person Study, Whence it Came and Why.

CONCLUSIONS: The MPS is designed to answer the major unanswered question in radiation risk understanding: What is the level of health effects when exposure is gradual overtime and not delivered briefly. The MPS will provide scientific understandings of prolonged exposure which will improve guidelines to protect workers and the public; improve compensation schemes for workers, veterans and the public; provide guidance for policy and decision makers; and provide evidence for or against the continued use of the linear nonthreshold dose-response model in radiation protection.
