Analysis of Cancer Risks in Populations Near Nuclear Facilities. Phase 2. Pilot Planning.

摘要

The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Committee on Analysis of Cancer Risks in Populations near Nuclear Facilities: Phase 2 Pilot Planning was charged with providing advice to NAS in performing a number of tasks related to the planning for a pilot epidemiological study of cancer risks in populations living near U.S.Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC)-regulated nuclear facilities. Specifically, the Phase 2 Pilot Planning committee’s task was to advise NAS on the following activities: (1) Identify the processes for selecting qualified individuals and/or organizations to perform the epidemiological and dosimetric tasks required to carry out the pilot study. (2) Initiate effluent release and meteorological data collection in preparation for estimating doses to the people who live near the pilot nuclear facilities. (3) Identify state requirements for data sharing and transfer of health information. (4) Obtain institutional review board (IRB) approvals for the study, as appropriate. (5) Identify key stakeholders and processes for communicating with them.
