Abstract
In response to an observed excess risk of brain tumor deaths among workers at the Rocky Flats Nuclear Facility (Colorado, USA), a case-control study of all (16) primary brain tumor deaths occurring among white males employed during 1952-1977 was conducted to investigate their relationship with occupational radiation/nonradiation exposures. For each case, 4 controls were individually matched on year of birth and period of employment. Although limited by a small number of cases, this study showed no statistically significant association between brain tumor death and exposure to internally deposited Pu, external radiation or other occupational risk factors.
