RELIABILITY OF MEASUREMENTS OF DOSE FROM EXPOSURE OF HANFORD WORKERS TO IONIZING RADIATION DURING THE PERIOD 1943 THROUGH 1969 by Karl Z. Morgan School of Nuclear Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, Georgia 30332 April 14, 1981 A. Introduction Probably there has never been a report in the scientific literature in recent times that has received more scrutiny, detailed review and criticism than the article "Radiation Exposures of Hanford Workers Dying from Cancer and Other Causes" by Mancuso, Stewart and Kneale. (1) I was editor of the journal Health Physics when this paper was published in the November, 1977, issue and received considerable flak from some health physicists for having accepted this paper for publication, although prior to publication it had been reviewed by four well- qualified reviewers and the authors had made the suggested changes and met the criticisms of the reviewers with one exception, viz. a complaint by one of the reviewers that the dosimetry at Hanford was not reliable. I overruled this complaint, and the paper was published. This action on my part was not an indication that I consider dosimetry unimportant in such a study. To the contrary, I consider it to be exceedingly important and a vital part of this study because no estimate of cancer risk from low-level exposure can be more reliable than the dose measurements on which the risk is based.
