Workmen's Compensation - Occupational Diseases - Radiation Injury Amendment, Vance A. Fisher S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The Kansas Workmen's Compensation Act has recently been amended to take more complete account of the complex nature of injuries which might arise through the increased use of radioactive materials and ionizing radiation. The effect of the amendment is twofold. First, it makes more inclusive the definition of radiation injury as an occupational disease by treating "exposure to ionizing radiation" as a cause of compensable injury.
