Various populations around the world have been exposed to radiation as a result of nuclear accidents or as a result of warfare. The Japanese were exposed as a result of the explosion of atomic bombs; the Russians and some Europeans were exposed to fallout from Chernobyl; and some citizens of the United States were exposed to radiation from the accident at Three Mile Island. Obtain references that describe these events and identify the type of radiation exposure that may have been encountered as well as the observed effects on human and animal populations. Based upon what you know provide a brief explanation as to why the observed effects occurred. Can they be correlated with the type of radiation exposure that occurred?
