HTDS is a study of thyroid
disease among people who were exposed to radioactive iodine
(iodine-131) from the Hanford Nuclear Site in Washington State. The
exposures occurred from 1944 through 1957. The question of the
study was, "Did exposure to iodine-131 from Hanford result in
increased incidence of thyroid disease?"
CDC and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center released the
Final Report in June 2002.
