Radiobiological science has proceeded on empirical principles since health physics became a necessary professional adjunct to the military and civilian uses of nuclear energy in the aftermath of the detonations at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This paper reviews the data which gradually emerged indicating that early assumptions about the detonation of atomic and nuclear weapons underestimated the significance of fallout, residual and induced radiation as health hazards. Many of these assumptions are being examined in three test cases concerning veterans of United Kingdom atomic and nuclear weapons tests heard by the European Court of Human Rights in November 1997.
自广岛和长崎原子弹爆炸后，健康物理学成为核能军事和民用领域必要的专业辅助学科以来，放射生物学一直基于经验原则发展。本文回顾了逐渐出现的数据，这些数据表明，早期关于原子弹和核武器爆炸的假设低估了沉降物、残留辐射和感生辐射对健康危害的重要性。欧洲人权法院于1997年11月审理的三起涉及英国原子弹和核武器试验退伍军人的案件，正在对其中许多假设进行审查。
