No. The types of radiation that cause cancer are ionizing radiation (alpha and beta radiation) and high-energy electromagnetic radiation (ultraviolet rays, x-rays, and gamma rays). Even then, very low doses of these forms of radiation usually aren't carcinogenic.

∙ 13y agoGood question! Not many people know or understand this topic. Nuclear Energy does cause Cancer because of the horrible thing it contains called radiation. It is very bad for any human. If you heard about the earthquake in Japan just recently, some of the Nuclear places are exploding and that is causing radiation to be found everywhere. Radiation can kill humans also! That is why, anyone who goes near radiation is likely to get harmed, if not killed.

What is the cause of the release of energy from stars?
Nuclear fusion.
What is it when energy is released through fission or fusion?
Nuclear energy
What is Uranium energy used for?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors.
Does nuclear energy have kinetic or potential energy?
Nuclear energy is a kind of potential energy.
Nuclear energy that is used to power nuclear powerplants?
Nuclear energy generated by nuclear fissions of nuclear fuels.
What diseases does nuclear energy cause?
CANCER
Can nuclear energy cause health problems?
Yes nuclear energy can cause very serious health problems, as nuclear reactions give out nuclear radiations which ionise the blood cells and can even cause blood cancer. These nuclear radiations are also called ionising radiations.----JAYRAJ Patel
How nuclear power is bad?
Nuclear power is actually a good, clean renewable energy source. The only negative is that if the reactor malfunctions or it breaks down, it will cause a hazardous pollutant that can cause cancer.
Is nuclear energy a good scource of energy?
Yes it is because it helps us with cancer.
Is a battery nuclear chemical or mechanical energy?
A battery is chemical energy creating electrical energy. Nuclear is cause by nuclear material either decaying or undergoing fusion, only present in nuclear material. Mechanical energy is a physical force cause by the transfer of kinetic energy.
What type of nuclear waste can cause cancer?
high-level
Can gamma rays cause cancer?
Yes Gamma Rays can cause cancer, even a small exposure to Gamma ray can cause the risk of cancer, X-Rays and Visible light can cause cancer but need huge amounts of it exposed to the body, Gamma is used in Nuclear bombs because of all the energy it has, so if you're near a Nuclear bomb when it sets off, Your most likely to catch cancer ;)
Is a battery chemical mechanical or nuclear?
A battery is chemical energy creating electrical energy. Nuclear is cause by nuclear material either decaying or undergoing fusion, only present in nuclear material. Mechanical energy is a physical force cause by the transfer of kinetic energy.
What major problems can nuclear energy cause?
Nuclear waste, depletion of Uranium.
What does nuclear energy cure?
Some forms of cancer, in a treatment called radiotherapy.
What Atomic Energy can do to your health?
It can cause Cancer
What type of technology is used to provide energy make bombs and treats cancer?
You think to applications of nuclear physics.
