- Description
- This calculator estimates the internal and external radiation dose received by your thyroid gland from radionuclides in fallout from nuclear tests conducted at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and sites outside of the United States (global fallout). In addition, the calculator estimates your risk of developing thyroid cancer from that exposure. This calculator also provides an estimate of probability of causation (PC), sometimes called assigned share (AS) for individuals who have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
