Why is it important?
The registry serves as an important data set of individual radiation monitoring records for regulatory oversight and epidemiologic studies, such as the Million Person Study organized by the NCRP.
Perspectives
I have been associated with the REIRS project for over 30 years of it's 50 year existence and it is rewarding to see it's value to the Million Person Study.
