This book gives a summary of the hundreds of studies that have been conducted in the past to prove the health benefits of radiation to cure several diseases, increase in lifespan and reduced cancer mortality. These conclusions were found not only in survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, but also the civilians and servicemen involved in nuclear tests, medical professionals, people living in high background radiation fields, apart from experiences of the people exposed to the radiation leaks from the three civilian major nuclear accidents. In spite of hundreds of such proofs, the biggest question is “Why people are afraid of radiation?” The book explains the root cause of fear of radiation and its history, and how it became the part of the regulation. This book is expected to be of immense help to scientists, engineers, and students in all fields, as well as people in general, to overcome an irrational fear of low-dose radiation.
