Mortality among the residents of the Three Mile Island accident area: 1979-1992.

The largest U.S. population exposed to low-level radioactivity released by an accident at a nuclear power plant is composed of residents near the Three Mile Island (TMI) Plant on 28 March 1979. This paper (a collaboration of The University of Pittsburgh and the Pennsylvania Department of Health) reports on the mortality experience of the 32,135 members in this cohort for 1979-1992. We analyzed ...

Long-term follow-up of the residents of the Three Mile Island accident area: 1979-1998.

The Three Mile Island (TMI) nuclear power plant accident (1979) prompted the Pennsylvania Department of Health to initiate a cohort mortality study in the TMI accident area. This study is significant because of the long follow-up (1979-1998), large cohort size (32,135), and evidence from earlier reports indicating increased cancer risks. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated to a...

Sn 1979

VLBI observations at 5 GHz have revealed that supernova 1979C, in the galaxy M100 in the Virgo cluster, has shell structure. The shell is approximately circular with the 50% contour deviating from a circle by an rms of no more than 8% of the radius. The brightness distribution along the ridge may vary. The position of the center of the shell is at R.A.=12 h 22 m 58. s 66758 and decl.=15 • 47 ′ ...

Absence of HTLV-III/LAV antibodies in ex-residents from Angola and Mozambique returning to Portugal before 1979.

We analyzed the prevalence of antibodies to HTLV-III/LAV in ex-residents from Angola and Mozambi que who returned to Portugal (Lisbon) before 1979. The absence of antibodies to HTLV-III/LAV suggests that the infection was not highly prevalent in these African countries before the development of the AIDS epidemic in the United States. Further studies of this type in ex-residents from other areas...
