The study of low dose and low-dose rate exposure is of immeasurable value in understanding the possible range of health effects from prolonged exposures to radiation. The Million Person Study (MPS) of low-dose health effects was designed to evaluate radiation risks among healthy American workers and veterans. The MPS is a national effort, directed by John D. Boice Jr. and coordinated by NCRP, with critical support from the NRC, DOE, NASA, U.S. Navy, DoD, NCI, CDC, EPA, Landauer Inc., MSKCC, and national laboratories. The MPS is evaluating low-dose and dose-rate effects, intakes of radioactive elements, cancer and non-cancer outcomes, as well as differences in risks between women and men. Overall, about 30 individual cohorts comprise the MPS. This virtual symposium will address stakeholder perspectives on the importance of such epidemiology and provide the current status of the MPS science, using specific cohorts and investigations as examples.
