AB Since  the  discovery  of  the  x-ray,  in  1895,  studies  of  the  health  effects  of  ionizing  radiation  have  received  continuing  impetus  from  the  expanding  uses  of  radiation  in  medicine,  science,  and  industry,  as  well  as  from  the  peaceful  and  military  applications  of  atomic  energy.1  The  extensive  knowledge  of  the  effects  of  ionizing  radiation  generated  by  these  studies  has  prompted  strategies  for  protection  against  radiation  that  have  been  influential  in  shaping  measures  for  protection  against  other  hazardous  physical  and  chemical  agents  as  well.
