Nuclear radiation is radiation that is emitted by atomic nuclei in various nuclear processes ( fusion...).
There are three types of nuclear radiation:-
1)Alpha----> the least penetrating of all, it can be stopped by a sheet of paper.
2)Beta----> more penertrating than alpha, less penetrating than gamma, can be stopped by an aluminum sheet.
3) Gamma-----> most penetrating, can be stopped by meters of concrete.

What nuclear radiation is smallest?
Gamma radiation is the smallest, because they have no mass.
Which of the following is not a type of nuclear radiation alpha particles beta particles neutron emission x rays?
X-rays are not a type of nuclear radiation. They are a type of electromagnetic radiation.
What is one other cause of mutation apart from UV radiation?
nuclear radiation
What is the measuring unit of nuclear radiation?
Roentgen
What are Waves usually given off during nuclear reactions?
Three types of radiation are given off, depending on the exact reaction. The radiations are called alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei; beta radiation consists of electrons or positrons; gamma radiation consists of high-energy photons (electromagnetic radiation).
What are three types of nuclear radiation?
Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.
What forms of radiation are used medically?
There are three kinds of radiation useful to medical personnel: alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
Give the three kinds of technology?
nuclear,electrical, solar
What are the signs of nuclear radiation?
There are no immediate signed of nuclear radiation.
What three things are produced when nuclear energy is generated?
Heat, radiation, and spent fuel.
What type of radiation do nuclear weapons emit?
Nuclear weapons emit nuclear radiation, with gamma radiation being the most common and dangerous.
What are three kinds of technology?
1] nuclear 2] electrical 3] solar
What does Yucca Mountain have to do with nuclear radiation?
people are planning to store nuclear radiation there.
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 radiation good for nuclear energy?
Radiation is a consequence of nuclear energy. In fact, without the radiation of a large neutron flux, nuclear energy would not exist.
Is it true that nuclear radiation comes from the decay of atomic nuclei?
Yes, the decay of unstable atomic nuclei is the source of nuclear radiation.
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.
