These communities will be studied in sections based on the nature and source of their irradiation. First and foremost, will be the millions of people effected by over 7 decades of nuclear weapon testing. The next section will look at those effected by nuclear production. The following section will examine those exposed to radiation from nuclear accidents. Finally, the course will examine the complex issues surrounding the long-term storage of nuclear waste, especially of spent nuclear fuel. | ||
