Abstract To evaluate the worker's accident death in China nuclear industry, we adopted epidemiological method, ICD-9 death classification principle in investigating the cause of all deaths in 11 units from their setting up to the end of 1990.There were 786 cases of accident death which was in the second place among all death causation.The crude mortality was 50.98×10-5, standard mortality 46.56×10-5, and SMR 1.20 (P > 0.01).Average death age was 34.93 years.There wasn't obvious increase or decrease trends over the years (P> 0.05).The most accident death was injury suffered on the job (29.90%), the second was suicide (22.52%), third, transport accident (10.81%) and next, drowning (8.40%), accidental fall (6.87%), poisoning (4.20%)…….Potential life lose was 25743 years.Relative risk (RR) for accident death of male is bigger than that of female, And the higher RR in radiation group compared with non-radiation group, came from uranium geological team sand mines mainly, while without proof of radioactivity itself.
