After Things Go Wrong

The December issue of Health Physics presents tools to use when things go wrong. Airi Mori describes the "Development of an External Radiation Dose Estimation Model for Children Returning to Their Homes in Areas Affected by the Fukushima Nuclear Accident." On the biodosimetry front, Dr. Mamadou Soumboundou recounts "Biological Dosimetry Network in Africa: Establishment of a Dose-Response Curve Using Telomere and Centromere Staining," and Dr. Christina Beinke reports on "Cytogenetic Analysis After Temporary Residence in the Area of the Uncontrolled Ruthenium-106 Release in Russia in September 2017." And finally, Dr. Eric Abelquist proposes "To Mitigate the LNT Model's Unintended Consequences—A Proposed Stopping Point for As Low As Reasonably Achievable." Be prepared! Check out the December issue of Health Physics!
