Fig. 3

Excess relative mortality by entrance date, distance from the hypocenter, or radiation dose. Figure 1 and Table 1 of an earlier report [24] are combined. A, late entrants (NIC, entered after 1 month); B, early entrants (NIC, entered within 1 month); C–F, < 0.005 Gy dose groups with different distance from the epicenter; G–M, different dose groups; and N, people (0.11–3 km) with unknown doses. Numerals shown above A–N denote the number of people studied. Solid lines X, Y, and Z respectively represent the averages of C and D (n = 25,524), of C–F (n = 34,064), and of E and F (n = 8540)
