A History of Radiation Protection
This paper is a subjective, selective cavalcade of some events and individuals which, in the author's opinion, have greatly influenced the development of the art of radiation protection as we see it today. The presentation is divided into time periods which have so much in common that they deserve separate treatment. 'Radiation' in this presentation means ionising radiation.
