Dose rate effect on mortality from ischemic heart disease in the cohort of Russian Mayak Production Association workers [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 For improvement of the radiation protection system it is crucial to know the factors that modify the radiation dose–response relationship. One of such key factors is the ionizing radiation dose rate.
