Abstract: A reevaluation of the preliminary dose estimates of a sample of subjects in the Belarusian-American cohort study, originally screened in 1997. Of the 100 subjects in the sample, revised thyroid dose estimates were within a factor of 2 for 90 subjects; the correction factor was greater than 2 for 8 subjects; the remaining 2 had not received an original dose estimate and hence were not a member of the cohort.
