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.

R&D Fellow
Dow
Scott J. Bury is an R&D Fellow in Dow's Core R&D organization. Scott started his 32-year and counting Dow adventure at the Plaquemine, Louisiana site in the Environmental Research Group. After a few years, he became the first member of the new Process Optimization R&D group. Over the past two decades, he has helped to grow and shape the group, now called Machine Learning, Optimization, and Statistics(MiLOS), through technology development, value delivery and recruiting talented young researchers. His research portfolio includes operations research, process modeling, operational reliability, product design for reliability, and discrete manufacturing modeling. His current focus is mentoring all the new members of the MiLOS team and working with Dow's Energy and Climate Business to explore nuclear power for decarbonization. He participates in several external technology programs and National Lab collaborations and is active in Dow's University Research Program.
