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.

Simple predictions of fluid velocities and pressures within a high speed, free surface, curved wall jet are shown to agree favorably with results obtained from hydraulic testing of full scale models. The wall jet described forms the design basis of the Fusion Materials Irradiation Test Facility Lithium Target, and has many similarities with wall jets considered for use in various wetted wall fusion reactor concepts. These comparisons show that simple techniques, both analytic and numerical, provide descriptions of the curved wall jet adequate for selection of design and operating parameters.
