“…High efficacy and minimal toxicity radioprotectors are desirable options for the hazards posed by nuclear medical and energy technologies and the dangers presented by nuclear weapons in an unstable global situation. Although cysteamine is an effective radioprotector, it has considerable toxicity. …”

“…This study assessed the prevalence of clinically relevant anxiety in British nuclear test veterans and aimed to explore experiences of worry and the broader psychological impact of the British nuclear weapons testing programme. The Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (Short-Form) was completed by 89 British nuclear test veterans (33.7% met the criteria for clinically relevant anxiety). …”

“…We included county level data on residential radon levels and estimates of radioactive iodine in milk following nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s. Results: Thyroid cancer incidence rates were significantly associated with median income (p < 0.05); percent of land fertilized (p < 0.05); the use of city water (p < 0.01), and cattle density per capita (p < 0.001). …”
