Özet
In the present paper, the health risks to astronauts due to space radiation exposure and the excess cancer risk (ECR) caused by high-level natural radiation exposure area residents were estimated manes on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Space Cancer Risk (NSCR)-2012 model and RESRAD code, respectively. The total risk of exposure-induced cancer (REIC) and total risk of exposure-induced death (REID) were calculated for different ages and genders. In contrast, the mortality and morbidity due to High Natural Background Radiation Exposure areas (HNBRAs) were simulated for different genders and ages. The results showed that the morbidity of the HNBRAs area for males and females was less than the REIC value of the 6-month mission at the International Space Station (ISS). Also, the results indicated that the mortality of the HNBRAs area was equal to the REIC 6-month mission for males. The mortality rate in the HNBRA area was higher than the average rate for females in the REIC 6-month mission. © Akadémiai Kiadó Zrt 2024.
