That would depend on the dosage received:
- < 1 REM - forget it, maybe you will get cancer a few years before you die but not much can be done. most likely you will have no problems from the exposure.
- 200 REM to 500 REM - go to hospital, you are near LD50 levels. the hospital can help you improve chances of survival and recovery.
- > 3000 REM - sorry even the hospital can't help you as you will die. they might be able to make you more comfortable but they will need beds and drugs to treat those that might survive, not those that have no chance.
Dosages outside these ranges it is very hard to make recommendations.
Now, how to know what dosage you got is a much harder question to answer, unless you always carry a self-reading dosimeter with you 24 hours a day.

What places have been exposed to radiation?
Los AlamosHiroshimaNagasakiChernobylThat nuclear power plant in Japan
How does nuclear radiation effect the ocean?
Nuclear radiation doesn't affect the ocean itself, but the animals that live there. Just like any living thing, if an ocean animal is exposed to high level of radiations it might develop mutations, and/or cancer, leading to a painful death.
A person exposed to radiation has no chance of survival. true or false?
False. We are often exposed to low dose radiation.
Did the Chicago Pile produce a radiation hazard?
Any nuclear reaction produce radiation hazard and should be guarded against by proper shielding.
Why do people exposed to radiation regularly need to wear radiation badges?
The radiation badges tell you how much radiation you have been exposed to so you know when you have been exposed to enough (before it becomes dangerous) and you can stop work in that area until you are able to be exposed to radiation again. They sometimes wear lead aprons to protect themselves from radiation. I think this is right but you had better check again somewhere else because it might not be right.

Can exposure to radiation from working in nuclear power cause parkinsons disease?
Radiation has been known to cause neurological disorders. Parkinsons disease is therefore a risk of being developed in certain people who are exposed to the radiation. This applies to those who are exposed to the radiation more than others.
What types of radiation should you be worried about?
The most dangerous type of radiation is Nuclear radiation which is the one that should be most worried about.
What can nuclear energy do to you?
Being exposed to nuclear energy could do many things depending on how much exposure Burns Radiation Poisioning Cancers Defects Death
What makes a nuclear plant dangerous?
A nuclear melt down puts the people within hundreds of miles around at risk by being exposed to radiation and dying from it.
Do structures retain nuclear radiation?
Yes, if they are exposed to irradiation or nuclear contamination. That is one of the arguments against nuclear power, that not only is nuclear waste produced in the reactor, but that eventually the entire reactor container will have to be disposed of or isolated.
How can a nuclear plant put a home in danger?
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.
What are the signs of nuclear radiation?
There are no immediate signed of nuclear radiation.
How does nuclear radiation effect the ocean?
Nuclear radiation doesn't affect the ocean itself, but the animals that live there. Just like any living thing, if an ocean animal is exposed to high level of radiations it might develop mutations, and/or cancer, leading to a painful death.
What type of radiation do nuclear weapons emit?
Nuclear weapons emit nuclear radiation, with gamma radiation being the most common and dangerous.
What is the most famous nuclear disaster in Europe?
The most famous Nuclear disaster in Europe was the 1986 Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Disaster in Ukraine. Nuclear radiation from an explosion in one of the four reactors leaked into the surrounding area and the near by city of Pripyat. Over 50,000 people had to be evacuated. 50 workers and firemen were killed and thousands of others died of cancers related with being exposed to the radiation from the disaster. Chernobyl and Pripyat are still heavily radioactive today and can still cause nuclear mutations if exposed for to long.
Was there any people exposed to radiation material in the last thirty years in any of the Ontario nuclear power plants?
yes thats how bigfoot was created
