when there is a nuclear meltdown in an area with some what of population of animals and humans if not evacuated it is most likely that the animals and humans will get radiation which can cause cancer and kill them.

∙ 13y agoIt won't affect animals more than it does humans, unless they get into restricted high radiation areas, and that should be prevented by barriers in the plant.

Why are people afraid of a nuclear meltdown in Japan?
coz if nuclear meltdown it can explode
What are the disadvantages of radioactive waste?
Radioactive pollution occurs when a nuclear plant has a meltdown. Radioactive particles that are exposed to living cells will likely cause cancer in people and animals. Furthermore, it can destroy crops and cause them to mutate.
What is a sentence using nuclear energy?
I'm pretty sure that nuclear energy is not as safe to use as solar energy is. I wonder if the Japanese people are anxious to escape their reliance on nuclear energy, now that they have experienced a serious meltdown event.
What is the main danger in a nuclear reactor meltdown?
The primary danger in a nuclear meltdown is associated with the release of large quantities of high level radioactive material into the environment. This radioactive stuff can sicken people or even kill them, and can render large areas of the countryside uninhabitable. The toll on human life and the economic damage can soar beyond the comprehension of most.
Why aren't there more nuclear power plants?
The reason is that there are many people around the world who are uneducated in the nuclear power field and therefore still assume the stereotypical nuclear meltdown or mutations will occur and as such, oppose their construction vehemently. Also, it is quite expensive to develop and build such plants.
Can nuclear energy kill people?
Yes it can. If a nuclear power plant melts down radioactive material is put into the atmosphere, land, water. A good example of this is in Russia where Chernobyl had a meltdown. Nothing can live there today and won't for another 100 years.

How does the weather affect animals in a boreal forest?
it affect people with hurricanes and earthquakes
How does nuclear energy damage people?
the radiation emitted from nuclear fuel will create problem for example cancer, some generation problem, it affect on vegetable, it affect on eye skin, etc.
How does nuclear bombs affect people?
it disintegrates them in a radius or burns, deform, and give Leukemia to people if it is a plutonium
What happens when a nuclear plant melts down by the ocean?
The meltdown of a nuclear plant by the ocean may result in a number of different things. The severity of the meltdown and the amount of radioactive material released and the area over which it spread will determine the results. What follows is difficult to predict, but we can make some guesses. A messy clean up may be needed, or contamination may force individuals to abandon the site because it is too radioactive. It is possible that there will be casualties due to radiation sickness, and some long-term health affects to people and animals in the surrounding area. Larger areas of adjacent land may have to be evacuated and remain unihabitable for decades or more. A range of possibilities lie along the road following a reactor meltdown.
How do people affect the lives of animals at the savanna?
they eat
