While fluorspar miners were not nuclear energy workers, they represented a unique study opportunity. Their exposure was due to groundwater with high concentrations of natural radon that seeped into the mine and was released into the mine air. Because there were no other radiation exposures, it was possible to assess the risk from radon alone.
