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.

Previous work on the automated selection of refueling patterns under equilibrium conditions has been extended to situations where operational difficulties or changes have been encountered. The approach has been embodied in the REFUEL computer program, which is capable of determining the refueling pattern to be used with conventional boiling water reactor cores or the newer minimum shuffle control cell core configuration.
