The Million Person Study of Low-Dose-Rate Health Effects (MPS) is one of the largest radiation occupational studies designed specifically to provide understanding of late health effects from chronic radiation exposures. The MPS has published more than 100 articles to date in the peer-reviewed scientific literature and is implemented by a team of radiation scientists using consistent epidemiologic methods while following precise dosimetry guidelines for determining organ-specific radiation doses from low-LET (linear energy transfer) external radiation, neutrons, and intakes of radionuclides.
Dr. Leo Francis Talbott, a pioneer in nuclear physics, was ORISE’s first-known research program participant and inspired the world and future generations through his passion for STEM.
