Large-scale radiation accidents are few in number, but those that have occurred have subsequently led to strict regulation in most countries. Here, different accident scenarios involving exposure to radiation have been reviewed. A triage of injured persons has been summarized and guidance on management has been provided in accordance with the early symptoms. Types of casualty to be expected in ...

Nuclear spins and paramagnetic centers in a solid randomly group to form clusters featuring nearly-degenerate, hybrid states whose dynamics are central processes involving nuclear spin-lattice relaxation diffusion. Their characterization, however, has proven notoriously difficult mostly due their relative isolation comparatively low concentration. Here, we combine field-cycling experiments, opt...

Three nearly simultaneous events around the end of the 19th century, i.e., the discovery of X‐rays by Roentgen in 1895, natural radioactivity by Antoine‐Henri Becquerel in 1896 and isolation of Radium by the Curies' in 1898 opened the nuclear era which has changed broadly the worlds of physics, biology and medicine. At the close of the 20th century, fundamental discoveries in biology at molecul...
