Rationale: Managing the health of vulnerable groups is an important component of health care. Given the long-term burden of radiation-release incidents among those exposed, managing the health of vulnerable groups following a nuclear disaster is very important. However, there is limited information available concerning the long-term management of the health effects of radiation exposure in vulnerable groups following nuclear disasters.

It is based on the three-dimensional reference interaction site model self-consistent field (3D-RISM-SCF) theory coupled with the linear fitting correction (LFC) scheme. In LFC/3D-RISM-SCF, pKa values of target molecules are evaluated using the Gibbs energy difference between the protonated and unprotonated states calculated by 3D-RISM-SCF and the parameters fitted by the LFC scheme to the experimental values of training set systems.
