The U.S. Million Person Study of Low-Dose-Rate Health Effects
There is a critical knowledge gap regarding the health consequences of exposure to radiation received gradually over time. While there is a plethora of studies on the risks of adverse outcomes from both acute and high-dose exposures, including the landmark study of atomic bomb survivors, these are not characteristic of the chronic exposure to low-dose radiation encountered in occupational and public settings. In addition, smaller cohorts have limited numbers leading to reduced statistical power.

Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) has sponsored multiple research programs that benefit research and development of advanced reactors. MEITNER and GEMINA programs are two excellent examples among others. These programs further advance the U.S. nuclear energy technologies and increase economic competitiveness of advanced reactors. Thermal-hydraulics research plays an indispensable role in the development, deployment, and operation of advanced nuclear technologies and an important part of these programs. This panel invites panelists to participate in the discussions on the recent status of these ARPA-E supported projects, with the focus on their advances and impacts related to thermal-hydraulics.
