Samuel Walker examines the evolution, over more than a hundred years, of radiation protection standards and efforts to ensure radiation safety for nuclear workers and for the general public. The risks of radiation-caused by fallout from nuclear bomb testing, exposure from medical or manufacturing procedures, effluents from nuclear power, or radioactivity from other sources-have aroused more sustained controversy and public fear than any other comparable industrial or environmental hazard. Walker clarifies the entire radiation debate, showing that permissible dose levels are a key to the principles and practices that have prevailed in the field of radiation protection since the 1930's, and to their highly charged political and scientific history as well. 606 $aNuclear energy$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aRadiation$xSafety measures$xHistory 610 $aatomic. 610 $aeffluents. 610 $aenvironmental hazard. 610 $afallout. 610 $aindustrial hazard. 610 $amanufacturing. 610 $anuclear bomb testing. 610 $anuclear plants. 610 $anuclear power. 610 $anuclear workers. 610 $apollution. 610 $apublic fear. 610 $apublic health. 610 $apublic safety. 610 $aradiation doses. 610 $aradiation poisoning. 610 $aradiation protection standards. 610 $aradiation safety. 610 $aradiation. 610 $aradioactivity. 610 $ascience. 610 $ascientific history. 615 0$aNuclear energy$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 615 0$aRadiation$xSafety measures$xHistory. 676 $a363.17/996/0904 686 $aAR 25700$2rvk 700 $aWalker$b J.
