Biological consequences and health risks of low-level exposure to ionizing radiation: commentary on the workshop

Health Phys. 2011 Mar;100(3):247-59. doi: 10.1097/HP.0b013e31820a83ae.

Abstract

This paper provides an integration and discussion of the information presented at the workshop held from 2-5 May 2010 in Richland, WA, adjacent to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). Consequently, this is commentary and not necessarily a consensus document. This workshop was in honor of Dr. Victor P. Bond in celebration of his numerous contributions to the radiation sciences.
