What can the nuclear bomb do?
Nuclear = causes radiation, which causes sicknesses & abnormal birth of infants
What form of ionizing radiation causes radiodermatitis?
alpha
What does the lonizing radiation sign mean?
Radiation is typically emitted from an energy source. Ionizing radiation means that the radiation has enough energy to bond to an atom. This causes the atom to become charged.
Why do spent nuclear fuels generate heat?
After the nuclear fuel is spent the fuel is radioactive. This radiation causes decay heat. The result of the radiation causes movement of atoms, converting it into thermal energy.
What form of ionizing radiation in high doses causes delayed irreversible changes of the skin?
All ionizing radiation in high doses causes irreversible changes to the skin...In some cases the change is caused by death. Say, for instance, that you were exposed to Alpha radiation, it would not penetrate deeply enough to pass through the dead skin cells. If you ingest an Alpha emitter, it could have lethal effects. Beta is perhaps the most dangerous. It penetrates deeply and causes damage to the DNA that can be expected to lead to skin and other cancers. On the other hand, Beta radiation is used to destroy tumors. Gamma radiation, same as X-rays, causes damage that, like Beta, is not limited to the skin. It has been said that there is no safe dose of radiation.
What are the main irreversible causes of dementia?
The three main irreversible causes are Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and multi-infarct dementia (also called vascular dementia).
What causes delayed hypersensitivity reactions?
Allergens on the skin usually cause delayed hypersensitivity reaction.
Why is UV radiation penetrating though the skin a physical change?
Penetration of uv radiation is physical change as it happens physically but after penetration it also causes some chemical changes along with physical effects .
Why is a radioactive element dangerous?
Spent fuel elements are highly radioactive, because the fission products produced in fission are in many cases unstable, and emit radiation. Radioactivity, which is in three forms, alpha, beta, and gamma, causes irreversible changes in the body. In the short term it kills white blood cells, and if that is not enough to cause a quick death, it can cause cancers to appear later.
