| Published by National Academy Press Adverse Reproductive Outcomes in Families of Atomic
Veterans:
The Feasibility of Epidemiologic Studies
Over the past several decades, public concern over exposure to ionizing radiation has increased. This concern
has manifested itself in different ways depending on the perception of risk to different individuals and
different groups and the circumstances of their exposure. One such group are those U.S. servicemen (the "Atomic
Veterans" who participated in the atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons at the Nevada Test Site or in the
Pacific Proving Grounds, who served with occupation forces in or near Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or who were
prisoners of war in or near those cities at the time of, or shortly after, the atomic bombings. This book
addresses the feasibility of conducting an epidemiologic study to determine if there is an increased risk of
adverse reproductive outcomes in the spouses, children, and grandchildren of the Atomic Veterans.
