We do not have medications or treatment that can cure the damage caused by radiation. There are things we can do, however, to limit the destruction caused by radioactive substances a person has been exposed to.
We cam limit the damage done to a person who has been exposed to certain radioactive substances, such as radioactive iodine, by providing non-radioactive alternatives to the body to take up. This is what iodine tablets are for. Given enough safe iodine, the body will take up little of the iodine that is radioactive, and will eliminate it.
We can treat radiation sickness, but this does not treat the underlying radioactivity.
There are ways of removing certain radioactive substances from the body.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What are the signs of nuclear radiation?
There are no immediate signed of nuclear radiation.
What are the uses of nuclear radiation?
Nuclear Warfare to kill people, according to the first answer to this question. Nuclear medicine is the use of radiation to treat or cure disease. It is often used in cancer treatments. Nuclear imaging is the use of radiation to create images, for example, to follow pattern of blood flow in internal organs. Radiography uses radiation (x-rays) to create an image that contrasts dense areas of a body with softer areas, for example, in dentistry or orthopedics. Nuclear radiation is used to make batteries for spacecraft. Nuclear radiation is used in ionizing smoke detectors. Nuclear radiation creates much of the heat inside the earth. Without it the core would solidify and earth would not be habitable. Naturally occurring nuclear radiation is used to locate fault lines and to place dates on volcanic eruption. Nuclear radiation produces about 10% of the world's electricity. Radiation was used for peaceful purposes many years before it was used for bombs. Most uses of radiation are peaceful and productive.
What type of radiation do nuclear weapons emit?
Nuclear weapons emit various types of radiation, including gamma radiation, neutron radiation, and thermal radiation. These forms of radiation can have harmful effects on living organisms and the environment.
How radiation affected by surface temperature?
Nuclear radiation is not affected at all, but radiation by Electromagnetic Radiation is. This is a straight Physics topic, not Nuclear Energy.
Is there gamma radiation in nuclear bombs?
Yes, nuclear bombs produce gamma radiation as a result of the nuclear fission or fusion reactions that release high-energy photons. Gamma radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that accompanies the explosion of nuclear devices.
What is the relationship between nuclear radiation and nuclear fallout?
fallout emits nuclear radiation, but lots of other things do too.fallout is particulates from dust size to baseball size, nuclear radiation is a mix of electromagnetic radiation and high speed subatomic particles.
Does a nuclear bomb give radiation?
Yes a nuclear bomb gives radiation. Radiation is transfer of energy through empty space.
Is beta radiation a type of nuclear radiation?
Yes
What is radiation?
The process of exposing an object to nuclear radiation.
What material effectively blocks nuclear radiation?
Lead and concrete are effective materials for blocking nuclear radiation.
What are the risks of nuclear radiation?
The exposure to nuclear radiation has many risks associated with it. Cancer, DNA mutations, and radiation poisoning can all occur with any level of radiation exposure.
