Carcinogenic risks of internal exposures to alpha-emitters (except radon) are relatively poorly understood. Since exposure may occur in environmental, malicious, accidental and occupational settings, understanding consequent risks is a priority for radiation protection. An occupational study in nuclear workers addresses this need as detailed historical dosimetry data are available.
