From the Introduction: Forty years after the introduction of nuclear weapons, information is still incomplete concerning the effects on man from ionizing radiation produced by those weapons. the information is important because radiation adversely affect both the combat performance effectiveness and the survivability of personnel. It is hoped that further knowledge will be gained from research such as that conducted by the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI). Research to define and manage the effects of ionizing radiation on military personnel is the primary responsibility of AFRRI. AFRRI, a unit of the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA), is the principal radiobiology research laboratory for the Department of Defense. More
