Abstract:
The lifetime attributable risk (LAR) of cancer caused by radiation exposure is crucial when deciding on radiological protection measures or protective actions for nuclear emergency preparedness and response. Although a model for estimating LAR among the Japanese population has been developed based on epidemiological data from A-bomb survivors, a flexible projection code implementing this model must be developed. This study investigated existing codes to contribute to the development of a projection code. Based on these investigations, we compared their LAR calculation results and explored the causes of their differences.
