摘 要：U.S. veterans who were assigned at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, from 1962 to 1979, have expressed concern that their health may have been affected by radiological releases from an onsite nuclear power plant. This report presents the results of the Department of Defense's radiation dose assessment for McMurdo Station veterans who were not monitored for occupational radiation exposure. This assessment determined that the radiation doses were low and the associated probability that disease could have arisen from these doses is also low. Finally, recommendations are provided for McMurdo Station veterans, their dependents, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and the Naval Dosimetry Center regarding the VA radiogenic disease claims process.
