RADAR Study (Radiation Dose Assessment Resource)

The RADAR Study (Radiation Dose Assessment Resource) is a research effort that evaluates the potential health risks from radiation exposure due to nuclear accidents or incidents. It models how radioactive materials spread in the environment and predicts how much radiation people might absorb through inhalation, ingestion, or external exposure. By estimating these doses, RADAR helps experts understand potential health effects, guide safety measures, and inform public health responses in contaminated areas. Its goal is to improve understanding of radiation risks and support effective decision-making during nuclear emergencies.
