When do the effects of irradiation occur?
What will be an ideal response?
Following the latent period. Assuming the dose is nonlethal, effects of radiation can occur within a short latent period (minutes, days, or weeks) or within a longer latent period (years, decades, or generations later). The latent period is determined by the type of cell and the rate of mitosis of the tissue irradiated.
