RECOVERY AFTER NUCLEAR ACCIDENTS

Does Blame Impede Health Recovery After Transport Accidents?

Blame towards the wrongdoer can be a source of distress for people who are injured in a transport accident. The association between blame and psychological stress is well investigated. In contrast, not much is known about blame and health-care utilization. It is important to investigate whether blame is associated with health-care consumption because it may contribute to our knowledge about wha...

Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching: application to nuclear proteins.

Fluorescence redistribution after photobleaching (FRAP) has received increasing attention ever since it was first introduced into cell biological research. The method was developed in the 1970s, when its biological application mainly focused on the mobility of fluorescently labelled constituents of the cell membrane. The development of confocal scanning microscopy in the 1980s facilitated accur...

Alternative evacuation strategies for nuclear power accidents

In the U.S., current protective-action strategies to safeguard the public following a nuclear power accident have remained largely unchanged since their implementation in the early 1980s. In the past thirty years, new technologies have been introduced, allowing faster computations, better modeling of predicted radiological consequences, and improved accident mapping using geographic information...
