Conclusions: The data set described in this paper would be useful in future epidemiological or health studies of the uranium miners group for establishing the workâ ‘relatedness for diseases such as lung cancer from radon exposure and silica, respiratory [scopemed.org]
Purposeful retrospective epidemiological research amongst our uranium miners has not been carried out. An experiment to investigate 1200 former uranium miners was done from 1985 up to 1998. [omfi.hu]
Prevention
In the past I have often wondered why obviously unethical or inhumane horrors were able to take place, what people were doing at the time to prevent them or what kind of resistance was happening, how many people knew and tried to stop the genocide, slavery [books.google.com]

It also said it wants permanent measures taken to prevent a recurrence. Cameco says it has has run tests, including urinalysis, on all three workers and the results suggest none of them breathed in a significant amount of uranium. [cbc.ca]
As a result, many personnel did not practice field-expedient measures that would have prevented or mitigated possible exposures. [au.af.mil]
