Abstract
Studies of leukemia in populations receiving small amounts of radiation are needed to investigate the question of a threshold dose. Estimates have been made of the population sizes required to detect a statistically significant increment of leukemia at specified low exposures, by means of the dose-response relation observed by Court-Brown and Doll at high doses.Keywords
