Description/Abstract:
DAVID A. TIMOTHY AND JUNE ROGERS CARRELL ARE LITIGANTS IN TIMOTHY VS U S. THEY ALLEGE THAT THEIR THYROID CANCERS HAVE RESULTED FROM HARM FROM RADIATION DOSES RECEIVED AS A RESULT OF LOCAL FALLOUT FROM THE TESTIN G OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS AT THE NEVADA TEST SITE. WE HAVE CALCULATED A BES T ESTIMATE OF THE THYROID DOSE RECEIVED BY EACH LITIGANT FROM EXTERNAL EXPOSURE AND THE INGESTION OF RADIONUCLIDES WITH FOOD. FOR DAVID TIMO THY, THE DOSE ESTIMATE IS 7.8 RADS. FOR JUNE CARRELL, IT IS 2.6 RADS.
