Abstract
The lifetime attributable risk (LAR) of cancer caused by radiation exposure is crucial when deciding on radiological protection measures or protective actions for nuclear emergency preparedness and response. Although a model for estimating LAR among the Japanese population has been developed based on epidemiological data from A-bomb survivors, a flexible projection code implementing this model must be developed. This study investigated existing codes to contribute to the development of a projection code. Based on these investigations, we compared their LAR calculation results and explored the causes of their differences.
在决定辐射防护措施或核事故应急准备和响应的防护行动时,辐照导致癌症的终生可归因风险(LAR)至关重要。虽然已经根据原子弹爆炸幸存者的流行病学数据建立了日本人口中 LAR 的估算模型,但必须开发一个灵活的预测代码来实施该模型。本研究调查了现有的代码,以帮助开发预测代码。在这些调查的基础上,我们比较了它们的 LAR 计算结果,并探讨了它们之间差异的原因。
期刊介绍:
Radiation Protection Dosimetry covers all aspects of personal and environmental dosimetry and monitoring, for both ionising and non-ionising radiations. This includes biological aspects, physical concepts, biophysical dosimetry, external and internal personal dosimetry and monitoring, environmental and workplace monitoring, accident dosimetry, and dosimetry related to the protection of patients. Particular emphasis is placed on papers covering the fundamentals of dosimetry; units, radiation quantities and conversion factors. Papers covering archaeological dating are included only if the fundamental measurement method or technique, such as thermoluminescence, has direct application to personal dosimetry measurements. Papers covering the dosimetric aspects of radon or other naturally occurring radioactive materials and low level radiation are included. Animal experiments and ecological sample measurements are not included unless there is a significant relevant content reason.
