Abstract

As radiation levels around the crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant in Japan increase, the Japanese people as well as individuals around the world have expressed fear of radiation that some experts say could be more unhealthy than the levels of leaked radioactive contamination. This article addresses why individuals fear radiation and provides resources occupational health nurses can consult when answering clients' questions.
