In the event of a nuclear detonation, human populations will be exposed to ionizing radiations. A significant component of the radiation hazard will be do to fallout. Studies of the interrelationships between dose, dose rate, and response in a variety of animal species, particularly those approximating human size, are the primary source of information on which to base an evaluation of the potential radiation hazard to human populations. SRI International (SRI) is an American nonprofit scientific research institute and organization headquartered in Menlo Park, California. The trustees of Stanford University established SRI in 1946 as a center of innovation to support economic development in the region.
The organization was founded as the Stanford Research Institute. SRI formally separated from Stanford University in 1970 and became known as SRI International in 1977. SRI performs client-sponsored research and development for government agencies, commercial businesses, and private foundations. It also licenses its technologies, forms strategic partnerships, sells products, and creates spin-off companies. Condition: Good.
