Answer: (B)
The keywords are "only after many years...", "chronic disease surfaces." People are unaware that they were harmed in the first place. (B) means having harmful, but subtle effect, which matches the context well.
(A) is wrong because there is nothing debatable. According to the sentence, radiation has harmful effects.
(C) is the opposite of the blank.
(D) is tricky. But remember, the effects, after many years, are discernible.
(E), which means not harmful, is the opposite of the blank.
