Are there greater ionizing or non-ionizing industrial hazards in the US?
The use of ionizing radiation in the American workplace has been substantially reduced during the last 30-40 years. As a result of that reduction, have the hazards of non-ionizing radiation used in the workplace become greater than the remaining hazards of ionizing radiation still in use? There are no readily accessible studies to tell us whether or not that has happened, and mostly it does not matter. The important thing is to deal correctly with all the radiation hazards, ionizing and non-ionizing, that are present in each particular workplace.
What is a teratogen example of radiation?
A teratogen is an environmental factor that causes birth defects during prenatal development. An example of a teratogen is ionizing radiation.
What is considered to be ionizing radiation?
Ionizing radiation is radiation with enough energy so that during an interaction with an atom, it can remove tightly bound electrons from the orbit of an atom, causing the atom to become charged or ionized.
Why black paper wrapped around photo graphic plate during detection of nuclear radiation?
it absorbs almost all the emitted radiations
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).

Do cockroach really survive during nuclear explotion?
Insects in general have a higher LD50 for ionizing radiation than do mammals. But nothing is unique about cockroaches. Other effects like the blast and heat will kill them as easily as anything else.
The immediate destructive action of a nuclear explosion is caused by this?
This would be the emission of thermal radiation during detonation. Ionizing radiation is also emitted at the speed of light at this time as well, but I wouldn't consider this to be the most relevant immediate destructive action. blast. its slower but causes the most immediate destruction.
What is the best definition of radiation?
Ionizing radiation is radiation with enough energy so that during an interaction with an atom, it can remove tightly bound electrons from the orbit of an atom, causing the atom to become charged or ionized.

What wave are sometimes released during nuclear reactions?
Gamma radiation
What type of radiation emitted during a nuclear detonation and from fallout results in whole body exposure?
Gamma radiation
Radiation is one of the long-term effects of a nuclear detonation what type of radiation is emitted only during the detonation?
AlphaBetaGammaX-RayNeutronUVBUVAVisible lightIRMicrowavesMore or less some of everything.
What is emitted mainly during nuclear detonation does not present a fallout hazard?
Neutron Radiation
In 1999 there was a bad nuclear accident in Japan exposing dozens to what?
In 1999, there was a nuclear accident at the Tokaimura uranium processing facility in Japan, which exposed dozens of workers to high levels of radiation. This accident resulted from a criticality accident during the processing of nuclear fuel.
