Abstract

In 1988 the Hanford Environmental Dose Reconstruction Project was established to estimate (reconstruct) potential doses that may have been received by individuals from radionuclides emitted with air and water effluents from the Hanford Site in southeastern Washington State, USA, since 1944. This paper discusses some of the statistical methods being developed to assess the uncertainty in reconstructed doses to the thyroid from {sup 131}I via the air-pasture-cow-milk-human pathway in the 1944--47 period. Emphasis is placed on assessing dose uncertainties that arise from uncertainties in specification of model parameters. 7 refs.
