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.

Reduction of the loss regions existing in the velocity space plays an important role in improvement of the confinement in the tandem mirror. Particle flow into the loss region affects the axial confinement. The ions being trapped in the magnetic mirror field are scattered from the trapped region into the loss region through the loss boundaries. In order to investigate the fine structure appeared in the loss region, the end-loss energy component analyzer (ELECA) devices have been constructed and located on both sides of the tandem mirror. Three kinds of structures in the loss region were observed in the RF-driven tandem mirror plasma.
