the registry and information to be obtained that ensures that the correct identity of persons in the registry
can be confirmed over time (see Element A7.5). Base inclusion in the registry on objective criteria that
indicate a potential for an increase in the incidence of radiation induced cancer or mental retardation
from prenatal exposures (e.g. 50 mSv to the thyroid, 200 mSv [41] whole body and 100 mSv foetus [40]).
Include those who were children at the time of exposure and who may have received sufficient dose from
radioiodine to result in a detectable increase in thyroid cancer (e.g. 50 mSv) risk. Inform people included
in the register of their risk level and of the purpose of the register. (See Element A10.6.)
