Researchers have released initial measurements of radiation levels experienced inside NASA's Orion spacecraft during its 25-day uncrewed Artemis I mission in 2022 around the moon and back to Earth.
Unprotected experiments in the U.S. in 1896 with an early X-ray tube (Crookes tube), when the dangers of radiation were largely unknown.[1]The history of radiation protection begins at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries with the realization that ionizing radiation from natural and artificial sources can have harmful effects on living organisms.
Joseph G. Hamilton was the primary researcher for the human plutonium experiments done at U.C. San Francisco from 1944 to 1947. [1] Hamilton wrote a memo in 1950 discouraging further human experiments because the AEC would be left open "to considerable criticism," since the experiments as proposed had "a little of the Buchenwald touch."
The effects of the 1979 Three Mile Island nuclear accident are widely agreed to be very low by scientists in the relevant fields. The American Nuclear Society concluded that average local radiation exposure was equivalent to a chest X-ray and maximum local exposure equivalent to less than a year's background radiation. [1]
FLASH radiotherapy is an emerging form of radiotherapy which delivers a high dose of radiation to the patient in an ultra-short time frame which produces a tumour killing effect comparable to conventional radiotherapy but with less damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
