Genetic risks from radiation [electronic resource] : recent assessments by the BEIR and UNSCEAR Committees and suggestions as to how future research can improve such estimates.

Recently two widely-recognized committees, namely the UNSCEAR and BEIR Committees, have reevaluated their estimates of genetic risks from radiation. Their estimates for gene mutations are based on two different approaches, one being the doubling-dose approach and the other being a new direct approac...
