 Drs. Valentin Hohyakov & Serve A. Romanov of the Public Health Ministry of the Russian Federation report (1994) on workers in Russia:

"The frequency of lung cancer was investigated among 2346 workers in the radiochemical plant ‘Mayak’ who were exposed to radiation, both externally and internally from incorporation of plutonium.

"Table 3 shows that the subgroups with the lower cumulative doses have fewer observed cases of lung cancer deaths than expected, while the cohort with dose equivalent in excess of 4 Sv exhibits an observed number of lung cancer deaths that is 2.7 times larger than the expected number."
