Radiation Carcinogenesis

oral (invited speaker)

Models of radiation carcinogenesis risks from terrestrial radiation or galactic cosmic rays (GCR) and solar particle events (SPE) in space are impacted by various uncertainties related to radiation quality, dose and dose-rate response models, and individual sensitivity. We describe NASA’s approaches to these problems. The use of age and gender specific models with uncertainty assessments based...
