No, nuclear radiation has existed sense the first stars in the early universe began fusing hydrogen. Nuclear power is an industry created by man only in the early 1950s.

Is containment the cure the to nuclear radiation in chernobyl?
yes if we build a dome around the nuclear reactor we may be able to contain the radiation but we will not be able to clean up the radiation left over already.
If you jump in nuclear waste will you get super powers?
No, you will get sick and die from leukemia, or other cancer by the radioactive waste lying around.
Is nuclear radiation a bad or a good thing?
Nuclear radiation is neither good nor bad, it is a natural phenomenon. Natural phenomena cannot be good or bad (this is an ethical/moral judgement), they are simply facts.
Does nuclear radiation go away?
No, it doesn't.Wrong, it does. There are 2 types of nuclear radiation: prompt & decay.Prompt nuclear radiation occurs for a period of time while the reaction that generates it is happening. Examples are the flash of neutrons, light, x-rays, etc. when a nuclear bomb explodes as well as the sustained neutron flux as a nuclear reactor is in operation. When the reaction stops, prompt nuclear radiation goes away.Decay nuclear radiation occurs as radioactive isotopes decay to different isotopes. As the decay happens (which is a probabilistic process) the radioactive isotope is consumed. This follows an exponential function with one half of the current amount of the radioactive isotope consumed in each period of time called a halflife. While there will always be a tiny residue of the original radioactive isotope, for practical purposes it is considered to be negligible after 5 halflives have passed. When 5 halflives of the radioactive isotope decaying have passed, decay nuclear radiation is considered to have gone away for practical purposes.
What kind of electromagnetic radiation arises only from nuclear excitations?
Gamma Rays
How can nuclear power damage ecosystems?
Radiation
Why is a nuclear power plant dangerous?
Because of radiation.
What are the dangers of nuclear power and weapons?
Nuclear power has no dangers. It is the opposite. Nuclear energy is a clean source for power production. It is even cleaner than solar energy. Power generation from nuclear energy is cheaper than that produced from solar, wind, gas, oil, and wind energy sources. Nuclear radiation from nuclear power plants is 100 times less than nuclear radiation from coal fired power plants. Nuclear weapons are of mass destruction nature due to emitted nuclear radiation, heat, and pressure air waves.
Why isn't nuclear waste have its radiation used for solar power?
Because nuclear waste doesn't give off the same radiation as the sun.
What type of radiation occurs in a nuclear power station?
gamma
What are some disadvantges of nuclear power?
it produces pollution,and radiation
Where was nuclear power invented?
Ionising radiation was discovered in Würzburg in Germany by Wilhelm Rontgen in 1885. This discovery led to nuclear power.
Is nuclear power dangerous to humans?
All sorts of nuclear radiation are dangerous. To use nuclear power safely the radiation in the reactor core must not be allowed to escape. Provided this is achieved, it is a safe industry. The health records of those who work on nuclear sites proves this.
Could omputer monitor emit radiation?
No because it doesn't rely on a nuclear or radiation power supply.
Why is radiation being created?
Its being created because nuclear power plants are giving of to much radiation
A worker at a nuclear power plant has noticed that his dosimeter alarm has been activated. What might this indicate?
Answer this question… Radiation is being released from the reactor.
How did the radiation leak in japan ocurr?
Due to a nuclear power plant.
