Drinking from and un-pure water source, Nuka-Cola, Food(Rat Roach meat, Junk-Food etc.) increases Radiation but Radiation Suits, Advanced Radiation Suits, Super Radiation Suit, Rad-X, Rad-Away and Doctors can take away Rads or lessen the amount received The effects are usually death...
Additional Note: In real life, the effects of radiation are very diverse. Most of the time, it will cause ailments to your well being, sickness, and possible mutations. However, the causes of radiation would be air-born, water-bound, and people transmittable. Seeing how this is such a dangerous thing, you are best off avoiding all humans after a nuclear war.

- Alpha
- Beta
- Gamma
- X-ray
- Neutron (fallout emits little or none of this)
- UV, light, IR (fallout emits none of this)
- RF (fallout emits none of this)
- Neutrino
- If exploded in the ionosphere, the detonation emits a strong EMP as its blast pushes the conductive ionosphere away rapidly through the earth's magnetic field, generating a current of billions of amperes... 3 properly placed high yield blasts at the right altitude could generate an EMP sufficient to blow out the entire electric grid of the 48 continental United States and destroy any solid state electronics connected to that grid or an antenna. 2 more could do the same to Alaska and Hawaii.

How does radiation spread once a nuclear bomb detonates?
prompt radiation is emitted at the time of detonation and propagates in straight lines from the fireball in all directions; prompt radiation is neutrons, gamma rays, x-rays, UV, light, IR, with smaller amounts of microwave and radio wavesdelayed radiation is mostly in the form of fallout and spreads by the winds (in an atmospheric detonation), water currents (in an underwater detonation), or by following the earth's magnetic field lines (in a detonation in space; delayed radiation is mostly alpha, beta, and gamma rays
What is the nuclear radiation that is emitted from natural sources all around us called?
You're referring to what's called background radiation, which is emitted from various isotopes that can be found in many, many different materials.
What type of nuclear radiation is emitted in Boron 12 to Carbon 2?
Boron-12 (12B) typically undergoes beta decay, where a neutron is converted into a proton, emitting an electron (beta particle) and an antineutrino. This transformation results in carbon-12 (12C). So, the nuclear radiation emitted in this process is a beta particle.
Why black paper wrapped around photo graphic plate during detection of nuclear radiation?
it absorbs almost all the emitted radiations
What are the three kinds of nuclear radiation?
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 is emitted mainly during nuclear detonation does not present a fallout hazard?

What radiation is given off by a nuclear bomb?
prompt (at time of explosion) - neutron, gamma, x-ray, UV, visible, thermal (IR), some radio.delayed (fallout) - beta, gamma, some alpha.Types of radiation called "ionizing radiation" - alpha, beta, gamma, x-ray, neutron.
What is emitted mainly during a nuclear detonation?
Shockwaves and thermal radiation are mainly emiited in a nuclear detonation. When the nuclear blasts hits the ground, kinetic energy from the impact will be released, similar to an earthquake, causing shockwaves. Thermal radiation, or electromagnetic radiation, a result of energy released from the nuclear reaction of two nitrogen atoms forming a carbon and an oxygen atom, causes fires, thermal burns and blindness.
What is neclear fallout?
Nuclear fallout is where, in this case countries, have a fallout and basiclly launch nuclear weapons at eachother.
What is a fall out shelter?
A nuclear fall out shelter is anywhere you can hide from the effects of a nuclear detonation. When a nuclear device is detonated above the ground it causes debris to be tossed into the troposphere and sometime stratosphere. This then falls back to earth as radioactive particles. A fall out shelter usually has three feet of soil above it to absorb the gamma radiation that is emitted from these particles. In most cases the radioactive particles dissipate quickly and people have to only be in a fallout shelter for a few weeks. Underground shelters also act against blast and thermal radiation (heat radiation) from a nuclear detonation. http://www.waverage.com has more about this.
What type of radiation is emitted only during detonation?
None. All types of radiation emitted by an exploding nuclear device are also emitted under other conditions, including natural conditions. These types of radiation are: alpha, beta, gamma, neutron, x-rays, IR, visible light, UV, EMP. Some types of naturally present radiation NOT produced by exploding nuclear devices are: cosmic rays, muon showers, proton.
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.
Creatures that survive a nuclear fallout?
Creatures that have unusually high LD50s to the types of radiation emitted by the fallout, typically beta and gamma. Most of these creatures are simple types like insects, bacteria, jellyfish, etc.
