arises out of the employment, and unless disablement or death results
within three years in case of pneumoconiosis, or within one year in
case of any other occupational disease, after the last injurious
exposure to such disease in such employment, or in case of death,
unless death follows continuous disability from such disease
commencing within the period above limited for which compensation has

radioactive substances or machines, or ionizing radiation, the
employer shall not be liable for any compensation unless claim is
filed within ninety days after disablement or death or after the
