A new look at prolonged radiation exposure

MIT study suggests that at low dose-rate, radiation poses little risk to DNA.


The study, led by Bevin Engelward and Jacquelyn Yanch and published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, found that when mice were exposed to radiation doses about 400 times greater than background levels for five weeks, no DNA damage could be detected.
