Abstract
The lifetime radiation-induced cancer mortality for Korean has been estimated for both single and continuous radiation exposure using the BEIR V method. In case of single exposure, a dominant cancer site for young and old ages was digestive and respiratory cancer, respectively. For Korean population, digestive cancer was the most dominant radiation-induced cancer site. In case of 1 mGy/yr continuous exposure from birth to death, the contribution of total radiation-induced cancer mortality was negligible as within 3% in comparison with total natural cancer mortality.
