The radiation environment during a nuclear accident or disaster is likely to be uncontrolled and ill defined. This was emphasized by the three most recent accidents鈥攖he reactor explosion in Chernobyl, U.S.S.R. (1986); the internal and external exposure of victims to cesium-137 in Goinia,...
the exposure time is so important that high single dose of radiation can do much more harm to human than the same dosage accumulate overtime.Last but not least, the government should remember the Chernobyl’s lessons but we’d better not do too many extra measures to make people feel scared...

though even heightened security may not be enough. The catastrophe at Chernobyl demonstrates the devastation that results from an explosion at a nuclear power plant. The affects of Chernobyl continue even today with heightened cancer rates hundreds of miles from the plant and deaths in the thousands...
“A culture of silence is a dangerous culture,” warns Edmondson, demonstrating how in many places (say, hospitals or nuclear reactors: rememberChernobyl?), not creating a psychologically safe environment is not a luxury one has, because it can lead to a tragic loss of life. ...
These pathological findings led to a clear recognition of acute radiation sickness or acute radiation syndrome (ARS), which is now used formally as a diagnosis for radiation victims in the field of nuclear or radiation accidents such as the Chernobyl accident. Figure 10. Pathological findings of...
Fukushima accident, disaster that occurred in 2011 at the Fukushima Daiichi (‘Number One’) nuclear power plant on the Pacific coast of northern Japan, which was caused by a severe earthquake and powerful series of tsunami waves and was the second worst
