The model was applied to four types of nuclear fallout scenarios, partly based on data from the Chernobyl and Fukushima releases and from theoretical source terms from Swedish NPPs. For rapid decontamination measures that achieve a 50% relative reduction in external dose rate within 1 year, compliance with the reference level 20 mSv yr<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> can be attained for an initial <jats:sup>137<\/jats:sup>Cs ground deposition of up to 2 MBq m<jats:sup>\u22122<\/jats:sup> with relaxed food restrictions. This compliance can be attained at even higher ground deposition (up to 4.5 MBq m<jats:sup>\u22122<\/jats:sup>) if using the strict food restrictions employed in Japan after 2011. Considering longer than 1 year return times it was also found that the benefit of implementing decontamination decreases rapidly with time (2\u20133 years half-time), especially if the fallout has a high initial <jats:sup>134<\/jats:sup>Cs to <jats:sup>137<\/jats:sup>Cs activity ratio and if the ecological half-time of the external dose rate is short (&lt;5 years). Depending on fallout scenario the averted cumulative LAR for newborn girls by decontamination that is achieved after 5 years is only between 6% and 11% of that obtained by evacuation alone during the same time, indicating a rather limited radiological benefit of decontamination if delayed more than a few years. We conclude that decision makers and emergency response planners need to consider that protracted decontamination measures may have limited radiological benefit compared with evacuation in terms of averted future cancer cases, albeit it may have other societal benefits.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6498\/ab993a","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,3]],"date-time":"2020-06-03T22:30:29Z","timestamp":1591223429000},"page":"790-814","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Averting cumulative lifetime attributable risk (LAR) of cancer by decontamination of residential areas affected by a large-scale nuclear power plant fallout: time aspects of radiological benefits for newborns and adults"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9495-7166","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C","family":"R\u00e4\u00e4f","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Finck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Martinsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1363-2002","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Y","family":"Hinrichsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Isaksson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"jrpab993abib1","article-title":"Transfer of radiocaesium to the Swedish population and subgroups of special interest","author":"\u00c5gren","year":"1998"},{"key":"jrpab993abib2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"739","DOI":"10.1080\/08035250213216","article-title":"Swedish population-based longitudinal reference values from birth to 18 years of age for height, weight and head circumference","volume":"91","author":"Albertsson-Wikland","year":"2002","journal-title":"Acta Paediatr."},{"key":"jrpab993abib3","article-title":"Consequences in Norway of a hypothetical accident at Sellafield: potential release","author":"Album Ytre-Eide","year":"2009"},{"key":"jrpab993abib4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1750","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jenvrad.2008.06.013","article-title":"Measurements and comparisons of gamma radiation doses in a high and a low 137Cs deposition area in Sweden","volume":"99","author":"Almgren","year":"2008a","journal-title":"J.
