Leveraging Advances in Modern Science to Revitalize Low-Dose Radiation Research in the United States

Leveraging Advances in Modern Science to Revitalize Low-Dose Radiation Research in the United States

Radiation exposure at low doses (below 100 milligray) or low-dose rates (less than 5 milligray per hour) occurs in a wide range of medical, industrial, military, and commercial settings. The effects of exposure at these levels are not fully understood, but there are long-standing concerns that such...
