All About Radiation is a Scientology book by L. Ron Hubbard on the subject of radiation and atomic bombs, and the effects on the human body, including techniques for reducing or eradicating those effects. It was first published in 1957 by the Hubbard Association of Scientologists International (HASI) and printed by Speedwell Printing Company, Kent, England. Later editions were published by the Church of Scientology's in-house publishing companies. The book is considered part of Scientology's canon,[1]: 21  however is no longer in print or being sold by the Church of Scientology.

The book is controversial for its claims, amongst other things, that radiation poisoning, and even cancer, can be cured by courses of vitamins. There is no known cure for radiation poisoning, and current medical practice is to provide palliative care until the symptoms subside or the patient dies.[2]
