Description

In the event of a high altitude nuclear detonation, communications might be carried out through the deployment of a Ground Wave Emergency Network (GWEN). This book authored with input from experts in biophysics, physics, risk assessment, epidemiology, and cancer examines potential health effects from electronic magnetic fields produced by a fully implemented GWEN system.
