In addition, rapid growth in the number of nuclear power plants around the world increases the risk of a nuclear accident similar to that of Fukushima, Japan. Add to this, exposure to non-ionizing radiation from prolonged cell phone use, proton radiation from solar flares, and potential nuclear conflict or a dirty bomb attack, and the need to expand our repertoire of radiatioRadiation injuriesRadiation injuriesPreventionElectronic books.Radiation injuries.Radiation injuriesPrevention.616.9/897Prasad Kedar N.979133MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462736403321Radiation injury prevention and mitigation in humans2232027UNINA
