Recent Fukushima nuclear detonation, Chernobyl nuclear fallout, three mile island nuclear accident and atomic bomb explosion – rethinking the effects of nuclear radiations over human health
Background: The earlier Atomic Bomb explosion in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and three worth mentioning nuclear accidents - detonation at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, Chernobyl nuclear fallout and an accident at Three Mile Island nuclear power plant have made us more worried about the secure exploitation of nuclear energy. The central focus of this paper is to review radiation-mediated health e...
متن کاملThirty-Five-Year-Old Woman with Signet Ring Cell Gastric Carcinoma Secondary to the Chernobyl Nuclear Accident: A Case Report
The 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident resulted in radiation exposures throughout much of Europe, with the highest exposures within the city of Pripyat, Ukraine, where the accident occurred. We report a woman who was exposed to the Chernobyl accident at age 13. Beginning in her early thirties, she experienced several years of upper abdominal pain that became progressively more severe. At age 35, s...

Material and Method: 150 participants aged 6 to 16 years are included in three groups: Group I (n=65), 30 to 60 km from center accident at zone 3th, Group II (n=65) 60 to 90 km from s...
متن کاملExcerpt from UNSCEAR 2001 REPORT ANNEX Hereditary effects of radiation 3. Possible genetic effects of radiation exposures resulting from the Chernobyl accident or from living in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant (a) Down’s syndrome and congenital abnormalities
(paragraph 362, given below as paragraph 1, and the following): 1. In the UNSCEAR 1993 Report [U4], it was mentioned that the results of Czeizel et al. [C23] had showed no increase in the prevalence of selected sentinel anomalies (predominantly autosomal dominant and X-linked diseases of childhood onset and Down's syndrome) in Hungary after the Chernobyl accident. Sperling et al. [S35], however...
متن کاملThe evidence of radiation effects in embryos and fetuses exposed to Chernobyl fallout and the question of dose response.
Current legal frameworks for radiation exposure limits are based on the risk models of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). In Publication 90 (2003), ICRP presents a safe (threshold) dose range of up to 100 mSv for radiogenic effects resulting from in utero exposure and bases this conclusion on the findings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. However, a variety of observations...
