a Model adjusted for calendar time, age at risk, cohort and duration of employment (<6 vs. 6 + months; Port Hope cohort only) by stratification. Gamma-ray doses were not included in the model

b Model adjusted for calendar time, age at risk, cohort and duration of employment (<6 vs. 6+ months; Port Hope cohort only) by stratification. RDP exposures were not included in the model
