Abstract
As pointed out by Dr. Ernest J. Sternglass, Director of Radiology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical School, radiation exposure can cause diarrhea, rectal bleeding, reduced immune system, loss of teeth, nausea, vomiting, cataracts, diabetes and depression. Yet workers in nuclear science have been exposed to dangerous amounts of radiation without adequate records being kept of their accumulated exposure. Damage to the bodies of nuclear scientists has resulted in loss of health and early retirement. Yet the United States has no adequate method of attempting to recompense our nuclear scientists for risking their lives and health while performing their duties.
