Cancer among nuclear staff-probabilities.

The study conducted on employees of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre(BARC) and Department of Atomic Energy(DAE) over a period of 30 years revealed that the incidence of cancer &deaths due to cancer among BARC &DAE employees is not higher than that of in the general population.

The study also reveals that the cancer & death were not due to radiation. The status of cancer risks among the serving employees in BARC appears to be similar to that found in general population.

The study also included comparison of cancer risks among radiation workers & non-radiation workers of DAE employees says that the cancer risks are similar to both groups. One is not higher than the others.
