> .. biologists rely on readings of external levels of gamma radiation to assess risk and harm.. #LifeSpanStudy. The #LSS was based on models developed following the.. nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where.. participants experienced a single high-dose exposure to external radiation. More pertinent here is the recent groundbreaking work of the INWORKS study of long-term low-dose exposures to external radiation, which found significantly elevated cancer incidence compared to the LSS.
> The INWORKS study has yet to be engaged by biologists focused on external exposures in the #CEZ
> After years of study in the CEZ, biologists #RonaldChesser and #RobertBaker concluded that “we must examine the internal and external doses for each individual, rather than relying on population averages or the animal’s proximity to the reactor.”
