Abstract
Accidents happen. Aircraft crash, ships sink, trains derail, chemical factories explode, dams break, and nuclear power plants fail. We also face natural disasters such as floods, droughts, hurricanes and typhoons, earthquakes, heat waves, volcanic eruptions, tornados, meteor strikes, forest fires, ice storms, mud slides, and tsunami. Each of these can shake a city, region, or nation. A few have shaken the world. The consequences can be political, societal, environmental, economic, and, most of all, human.

期刊介绍:
The International Commission on Radiological Protection was founded in 1928 to advance for the public benefit the science of radiological protection. The ICRP provides recommendations and guidance on protection against the risks associated with ionising radiation, from artificial sources as widely used in medicine, general industry and nuclear enterprises, and from naturally occurring sources. These reports and recommendations are published six times each year on behalf of the ICRP as the journal Annals of the ICRP. Each issue provides in-depth coverage of a specific subject area.
