Summary
The development of radiation dose estimates for the Japanese atomic-bomb survivors illustrates the value of exposure science in greatly increasing the precision of risk estimates and, as a result, global confidence in the details of the health impacts from ionizing radiation and the development of health-protective regulations and guidance.
