From InfoBeat:

Scientists are working to develop drugs that may protect people against
radiation poisoning, hoping to partially defuse the fear factor that makes
radioactive "dirty bombs" such a potent terrorist weapon.

The disclosure of an anti-radiation compound under development at the
University of Chicago comes on the heels of other recent scientific advances
designed to defang biological and radiological terrorist weapons.

I wonder whether such drugs also have anti-ageing properties, as radiation
damage and ageing have some points in common. Or maybe the "scientists"
referred to are just trying to convince the authorities of the properties of
existing anti-oxidants that most life extenders and cryonicists have known
about since the 1980s.
