Excess relative risk^a of death per Sievert (ERR/Sv) in the French nuclear worker cohort, 1968–2004.

Cause of death	n	ERR/Sv	90%CI
Solid cancer	2356	0.36	−0.42–1.25
Solid cancer excluding lung cancer	1761	0.21	−0.66–1.23
Lung cancer	595	0.81	−0.72–2.78
Non Hodgkin lymphoma	64	NC	–
Multiple myeloma and IP tumours	36	NC	–
Leukaemia excluding chronic lymphocytic leukaemia	57	3.52	<0–16.00
Myeloid leukaemia	36	14.95	1.21–43.61
Circulatory diseases	1483	0.31	−0.71–1.52
Ischemic diseases	587	1.06	−0.62–3.23
Cerebrovascular diseases	338	0.65	−1.65–4.01
Respiratory diseases	200	1.20	−1.06–4.68
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease	70	−0.28	<0–4.99

n: observed number of deaths; CI: likelihood-based confidence interval; IP: immuno-proliferative; NC: convergence not achieved; ‘<0’ is used when the lower bound of the CI could not be estimated.

Estimated from a linear model of cumulative penetrating photon dose lagged by 10 years (except for leukaemia, lagged by 2 years), stratified on calendar period, age, sex, company, duration of employment, and socioeconomic status (except for leukaemia).
