mound workers potentially exposed to external or internal (polonium-210, plutonium isotopes, or tritium) radiation (mean dose from external radiation: 26.1 mSv; max: 939.1 mSv; mean lung dose from external and internal radiation combined: 100.1 mSv; max: 17.5 Sv; mean liver dose from external and internal radiation: 34.6 mSv; max: 2.3 Sv), the mortality due to diseases of the nervous system was not different from that of the general population, regardless of the radiation status of the workers or the type of radionuclides for those with intakes, but a positive trend was suggested as SMRs increased with increasing categories of occupational cumulative dose primarily due to photons ( p = 0.03) [ 42 ].
