Veterans who served before, during, or after Vietnam may have been exposed to radiation from military activities including nuclear weapons testing. Radiation can be
non-ionizing, which is low-energy radiation and comes from various sources, such as sunlight, microwaves, radio frequencies, and radar; or ionizing, which sends
out high energy and may pose a health risk.
