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.

The neutral beams have been injected in the anchor mirror cells and plug/barrier mirror cells in the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror to build up the high energy ions there. We calculated the population of the high energy ions with the bounce-averaged Fokker-Planck code for various background neutral densities and electron temperatures in each cell.
