Nuclear bomb explosions by terrorists and unintentional nuclear conflicts remain possibilities as long as nations have nuclear arsenals. At present, there are no strategies to provide biological protection before and/or after radiation exposure. This book aims to identify and examine those non-toxic and cost-effective agents that could be effective in preventing and mitigating acute radiation damage before and after exposure to high doses that can cause lethality. The text discusses the implementation of physical and biological protection strategies for first responders who might be exposed to high doses of radiation in the course of their activities.
