Cancer death rates from the Beaumont-Hague "canton," where a nuclear facility is located, were compared with those for the Manche "département." No significant increase was found in cancer deaths during 1970-1982 for leukemias and in 1975-1982 for all other types of malignant tumors.
RÉSUMÉLes documents publiés sur la mortalité par cancer en France ne permettent pas d'étudier cette cause de mortalité pour des popu lations d'unités administratives plus petites que le département. L'exploitation des données relatives aux années 1962 -1980 mon tre que la mortalité par cancer dans le département de la Manche rapportée à celle de l'ensemble de la France n'a pas subi de mo difications sensibles au cours de ces 19 années.
ABSTRACTThe statistics published on cancer mortality in France do not permit to study this cause of mortality for populations in administrative areas smaller than the " department". A statistical analysis of the data for the years 1962 -1980 shows that cancer mortality in the Manche " department" vs that in whole France has undergone no significant changes during these 19 years.
AVANT-PROPOSOn a parfois fait allusion, même dans la grande presse, à une augmen tation éventuelle de l'incidence des cancers dans les régions de BasseNormandie que pourraient affecter les rejets de l'usine de la Hague.
I n order t o contribute to the interpretation of radiobiological data obtained when thin samples of tissue are exposed to neutrons, the absorbed dose distribution as a function of LET, has been calculated for monoenergetic neutrons w-ith energies between 0.025 eV and 10 &IeV. From the results obtained the dose distribution for neutrons with a complex energy spectrum may be easily calculated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
