You might find some useful notes in http://opitslinkfest.blogspot.com/2009/08/uranium-mining-and-depleted.html<br />I haven't researched http://www.helencaldicott.com/ yet.

The systematic checking of thyroid health after Chernobyl, certainly better than before the accident, led to moving up the date at which tumors were noticed and included a number of problems which might never have been noticed.<br /><br />http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/Pub1312_web.pdf<br /><br />Re small doses, I assume that a number of experiments are still going on to assess the model's power at low doses. I'm several years behind in reading the results at this site: http://lowdose.energy.gov/Karen Streethttp://pathsoflight.us/musing/index.phpnoreply@blogger.com
