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 radiatio 606 $aRadiation injuries 606 $aRadiation injuries$xPrevention 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRadiation injuries. 615 0$aRadiation injuries$xPrevention. 676 $a616.9/897 700 $aPrasad$b Kedar N.$0979133 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462736403321 996 $aRadiation injury prevention and mitigation in humans$92232027 997 $aUNINA
