THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES

Advisers to the Nation on Science, Engineering, and Medicine

The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts is president of the National Academy of Sciences.

The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Wm. A. Wulf is president of the National Academy of Engineering.

The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine.

The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts and Dr. Wm. A. Wulf are chair and vice chair, respectively, of the National Research Council.

A Note on the Units of Measurement Used in this Report

It has been the custom of the Board on Radiation Effects Research (BRER) to use the International System of Units (SI) in its reports. In this report, however, exceptions are made in presenting data on radiation exposure, radiation dose, and activity of radionuclides. In all such cases, traditional non-SI units and their special names are used. Thus, exposure in air is given in roentgen (R), absorbed dose in rad, equivalent dose in body organs or tissues in rem,1 and activity of radionuclides in curies (Ci). Decimal submultiples of the units also are used. For example, equivalent dose may be given in millirem (mrem), or one thousandth (10−3) of a rem, and activity may be given in microcuries, or one millionth of a curie (μCi), or in nanocuries, or one billionth of a curie (nCi). The traditional units are used in this report because they have been used exclusively in all dose reconstructions for atomic veterans and in other documents of the dose reconstruction program and therefore are the units with which veterans are familiar.

The relationships between the units used in this report and the corresponding SI units and special names are given in the table below.

In dose reconstructions for atomic veterans, the biologically significant dose to body organs or tissues is called “dose equivalent.” In the present report, however, this quantity is called “equivalent dose,” as recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP, 1991a).

Preface

From 1945 through 1962, the US atmospheric nuclear weapons testing program involved hundreds of thousands of military and civilian personnel, and some of them were exposed to ionizing radiation. Veterans’ groups have since been concerned that their members’ health was affected by radiation exposure associated with participation in nuclear tests and have pressured Congress for disability compensation. Several pieces of legislation have been passed to compensate both military and civilian personnel for such health effects. Veterans’ concerns about the accuracy of reconstructed doses prompted Congress to have the General Accounting Office (GAO) review the dose reconstruction program used to estimate exposure. The GAO study concluded that dose reconstruction is a valid method of estimating radiation dose and could be used as the basis of compensation. It also recommended an independent review of the dose reconstruction program. The result of that recommendation was a congressional mandate that the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), a part of the Department of Defense, ask the National Research Council to conduct an independent review of the dose reconstruction program. In response to that request, the National Research Council established the Committee to Review the Dose Reconstruction Program of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency in the Board on Radiation Effects Research (BRER).

The committee randomly selected sample records of doses that had been reconstructed by DTRA and carefully evaluated them. The committee’s report describes its findings and provides responses to many of the questions that have been raised by the veterans.

Throughout the study, the committee’s work was greatly aided by the efforts of D. Michael Schaeffer of DTRA, the DTRA contractor team, Bradley Flohr and Neil Otchin of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and Department staff; we thank them for providing valuable historical insights for the committee’s study and providing feedback and materials for additional review. The committee and the BRER staff are grateful for the information provided by invited speakers who generously contributed their time and participated in the committee’s information-gathering meetings: D. Michael Schaeffer, Steve Powell, W. Jeffrey Klemm, Julie Fisher, Cindy Bascetta, Neil Otchin, Bradley Flohr, Pat Broudy, Richard Conant, Andy Nelson, Barry Pass, and Alex Romanyukha. The committee thanks Tony E. Carter and Sandy Ford for redacting case files.

The committee is especially grateful for the assistance provided by “atomic veterans” throughout the course of its work. Veterans provided records, explained their concerns, and assisted us in understanding the conditions surrounding the nuclear-weapon tests. The committee and the BRER staff are appreciative of the information, feedback, and background materials for review provided by Gilbert Acciardo, James Avans, James Bradley, Robert Brenner, Frank Bushey, Thomas Caffarello, Boley Caldwell III, Sarah Comley, Joseph Ceonzo, Fred Clapp, Fred Clark, daughterrad (e-mail), William Duffy, Theodore Dvorak, Frank Fancieullo, William Fish, Walter Furbee, Richard Gilson, Glen Howard, Thomas Hughes, Jennifer Jones, Martin Kinney, Harold Kolb, David Lloyd, John Locke, Michael Lynch, James McDonald, Jack Nelson, James Robert Peden, Howard Pettet, Howard Pierson, Bernard Reynolds, Claude Richard, Keith Schwenk, James Warren Scott, Rodney Seidler, Delinda Sterling, R. Stockwell, Gerald Stone, Richard Stoyle, Herb Stradley, strawbry (e-mail), Arthur Templin, James Tokar, Paul Tutas, Lawrence Wagner, and Sidney Wolfeld. We hope that we have responded usefully to the veterans’ questions about dose reconstruction and the claims process. We also hope that our work will help to generate changes in the dose reconstruction program that will make it more effective.

Finally, the committee thanks the National Research Council staff who worked directly with us, especially Study Director Isaf Al-Nabulsi for keeping the committee focused and assisting in the writing and preparation of our report. Dr. Al-Nabulsi was well assisted in the administration of the committee’s work by Dianne Stare and Doris Taylor.
