Greenpeace submission 1. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS Doses of ionizing radiation to workers in the nuclear field are of particular concern at this time for two reasons: 1) both the uranium and nuclear power sectors are in periods of expansion, leading to a larger exposed population of workers; and, 2) there is a great deal of recent evidence in the international sphere which indicates large increases in risk estimates for cancer resulting from exposure to radiation. While evidence for immediately lowering the 'allowable' radiation dose for workers in the Canadian nuclear industry is overwhelming in Greenpeace 's view, the Canadian radiation authorities are presently motivated by political and economic considerations to the detriment of working men and women and also the environment upon which we depend.
