A distinction is made in this chapter between “repair” and “recovery”. The first includes only those processes where the molecular mechanism is fairly well known. Examples are photoreactivation, excision, post replicational repair, mismatch repair, “SOS”- and strand-break repair. “Recovery”, on the other hand, is operationally defined as a phenomenon which reduces the cellular radiation effect without specific reference to a certain process at the molecular level. The last section discusses the genetic dependence of repair processes and also their relevance for human health.
