“…The military has concerns for the warfighter during these events and other activities that may expose troops to radiation. The possibility of performance decrements exists if troops are exposed to even relatively low doses (<2 Gy) of radiation during missions or support efforts that may result in mission compromise (Brown et al 1977). However, the negative effects of radiation exposure extend far beyond the potential for a nuclear disaster.…”

An Interagency Panel Session organized by the NASA Human Research Program (HRP) Space Radiation Program Element (SRPE) was held during the NASA HRP Investigator's Workshop (IWS) in Galveston, Texas on 26 January 2017 to identify complementary research areas that will advance the testing and development of medical countermeasures (MCMs) in support of radioprotection and radiation mitigation on the ground and in space. There were several areas of common interest identified among the various participating agencies. This report provides a summary of the topics discussed by each agency along with potential areas of intersection for mutual collaboration opportunities. Common goals included repurposing of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals for use as radioprotectors and/or mitigators, low-dose/chronic exposure paradigms, late effects postradiation exposure, mixed-field exposures of gamma-neutron, performance decrements, and methods to determine individual exposure levels.

“…Leary and Ruch (10), and McDowell and Brown (i2), respectively, observed a decline in cage activities in the 400 and 544-700 rad whole-body range of X-rays. Brown et al (5) exposed rhesus monkeys performing discrete tasks over a 12-hour period to 300 rads (whole body) of gamma radiation and observed increased reaction times and decreased response accuracies in some subjects. In the latter experiment, serious attempts were made to correlate laboratory with operational parameters.…”
