Details
The National Registry for Radiation Workers Governance Group provides governance and oversight of the epidemiology work proposed using data from the study.
The NRRW studies the effects of low doses of radiation exposed on workers.
The aim of the NRRW is to:
- better understand the risk of occupational low-dose exposure to ionising radiation
- inform regulations and guidelines that protect radiation workers
The guidance outlines how the NRRW carries out the study and the privacy notice sets out how the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) will use and protect the data obtained by it.
