No, Hawaii is currently not in danger of radiation from the incidents involving the nuclear reactors in Japan.
No
Ionising radiation from Alpha, Beta and Gamma emissions (from radioactive materials) are harmful to most organs of the body.
since it is a NUCLEAR power plant, radiation can be released, which is really harmful to people and others. :)
The radiation levels of atomic bombs vary according to the amount of radioactive elements put into the bombs or missiles and if they are actually used. Once the radioactive matter is inside the bomb housing the radiation levels are negligible but once one of the nuclear bombs is used then the variables come into play. (see related link below to see how complex it is) Consider this: the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 are 1/10th the killing power of today's nuclear missiles. If one modern nuclear missile were to be used today the bomb would be able to kill about a third of the world with the initial bomb blast and radiation fallout. The radiation level after Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not really measured until after the US occupied Japan. The Japanese leaders did not really understand the radiation fallout and poisonous danger and they did not use radiation detectors right after the blast. It is rumored the radiation levels were 100 times today's acceptable levels of radiation.
The nuclear bombs used in Japan in the end World Two, were dropped with the warning written in pamphlets dropped days before. The symbol for nuclear danger is a yellow and black which everybody seems to know. It is even in hospitals. Nuclear power plants providing electricity are full of them. One of the harmful species from nuclear fallout is the radioactive isotope of strontium, 9038Sr. so nuclear or radiation are harmful and the warning sing has to be always placed in those places.
No. The vaults are simply a big plot device in the Fallout series. The vaults are used to show the McCarthyism and fear of nuclear war that was occurring in America before the events of the game, and as a starting point in Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout 3 to show an unfamiliarity and danger of the Wasteland. But there will be a vault 101 in reality very soon
If the nuclear plant has an accident that allows radiation to leak, the radiation can make nearby receptors quite ill. Edit: This is a bit of an understatement tbh. If the radiation "leaks" and people nearby are exposed to said radiation, statistically, their chances of all manner of diseases is increased. Mainly cancer.
Two dangers associated with nuclear fission are the risk of nuclear accidents, such as the Chernobyl or Fukushima disasters, which can release radiation into the environment and pose health risks to people nearby. Another danger is the potential for proliferation of nuclear weapons if nuclear materials are not properly secured.
There are a few dangers that are inherent in a nuclear reactor. The major danger inherent in a nuclear reactor is the effects of radiation. Radiation poisoning can be extremely deadly and harmful. Other inherent dangers include radioactive waste and the potential catastrophic damage of an accident such as at Chernobyl.
Touching a nuclear plant could result in severe burns and radiation exposure, which can lead to serious health issues including radiation sickness, cancer, and even death. It is important to always follow safety protocols and stay far away from areas with high radiation levels at nuclear plants.
Currently there is no danger that they will explode, however there has been leaking radiation and it has been detected as far away as Dublin in Ireland.
