Long-term exposure to low-dose radiation from nuclear disasters and space travel poses an increasing and significant health risk to humans. While accidental exposures during nuclear disaster often involve a mixture of acute high-dose and chronic low-dose rate radiation that is hard to predict, the space environment contains constant low-dose rate radiation which has been shown to increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases [1–3]. Astronauts beyond low Earth orbit are exposed to Galactic Cosmic Radiation (GCR) consisting of high-charge, high-energy (HZE) atomic nuclei and high-energy protons, as well as Solar Particle Events (SPE) consisting mostly of low and medium-energy protons. These particles and secondary radiations generated from their interactions with the spacecraft and crew result in a radiation field with a wide range of linear energy transfer (LET). While there is considerable concern about high LET exposures due to their greater biological effectiveness, it is important to note
