What could be consequences of Radiological Accident?
The main negative consequences of nuclear or radiological accidents are following: Consequences for health: deterministic effects and stochastic effects Psychological Environmental Economic Social Consequences for health. There are basically two types of physical health effect related to radiation exposure. The first is called a deterministic effect. These effects occur relatively soon (within days to weeks) after an exposure to a high dose at a high dose rate. Essentially the damage to the tissue from the radiation is so extensive that the body does not have time to regenerate new tissue, and so the effect becomes visible with many of the features of a thermal burn, but usually much deeper and long-lasting. The second type of health effect that can be caused by radiation is a so-called stochastic effect, such as cancer or hereditary effects in any future offspring. These types of effects are characterised by their late appearance after exposure (several years up to decades), and criti
