A member asked:
How do i get tested for radiation exposure? is there a blood test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immediately yes : As in japans nuclear accident , immediately, exposed people are tested with radiation probe counters and decontaminated, late or delayed testing the effects of it ( damage done by blood test etc) not the radiation as it is no longer on the body.
