The Effects of Radiation on Man (oral, inserts, bibliography)
SCMATIC EFFECTS ~ PATHOLCGY
A,
Introduction and orientation: distinction between somatic and
genetic effects, between acute effects of high level radiation
and long-term effects of low level radiation and radioactivity,
between damage per se and the standards developed to protect
against damage
