Abstract
This article summarizes the methodology, results, and challenges of the reconstruction of red bone marrow and male breast doses for a 1982-person sub-cohort of ∼114,270 U.S. military veterans who participated in eight atmospheric nuclear weapons tests between 1945 and 1962. These doses are being used in an epidemiological investigation of leukemia and male breast cancer as part of a study of one million U.S. persons to investigate risk from chronic low-dose radiation exposure.
