due to thermal injury and or blast effects and 10%
due to supralethal radiation exposure, the
intermediate stage from 3-8 weeks the deaths in
this period from ionization radiation in the
median lethal range, and the late period lasting
from 8-20 weeks, this period
some improvement in survivors condition and the
delayed period from 20+ weeks. The last section
is characterized by “numerous complications
, mostly related to healing of thermal and
mechanical injuries coupled with infertility,
sub fertility and blood disorders caused by
radiation.” Also, ionizing radiation from fallout
can cause genetic effects, birth defects, cancer
cataracts and other effects in organs and tissue.
