What types of atoms release nuclear radiation?
Isotopes of elements with unstable nucleus release nuclear radiation. Generally theinstabilityis related to the neutron to proton ratio in the nucleus of an atom.
What are 3 main types of nuclear radiation?
1) Nuclear 2)Radiation 3)Your welcome
What are the main types of nuclear energy?
The two types of nuclear energy are nuclear fission nuclear fusion. In nuclear fission, the nuclei of the atoms are split. In nuclear fusion, as the name suggests, the nuclei of the atoms are joined together.
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 are three types of nuclear radiation?
Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.

Where does the radiation come from and how is it made in a nuclear bomb?
Ultimately all nuclear radiation comes from the excess nuclear binding energy of unstable atoms. Nuclear binding energy is the energy of the strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force that holds the protons and neutrons of atomic nuclei together. When an unstable atom releases its excess energy to become a more stable atom, one or more types of nuclear radiation carries away that energy.All nuclear bombs contain some unstable atoms of radioactive elements (e.g. uranium, plutonium, tritium) in their construction to make it possible for them to work, but these radioactive elements are usually only slightly radioactive and the radiation (mostly alpha) is usually easy to shield.However when these bombs are detonated fission of uranium and/or plutonium atoms produces very large numbers of fission product atoms which are much more unstable than the original atoms and emit much harder to shield beta and gamma radiation as they decay to more stable atoms. Also both fission and fusion reactions inside the bomb generate neutron radiation in a brief pulse at the moment of detonation, this neutron radiation (unlike other types of nuclear radiation) can make other atoms radioactive that were not previously radioactive. Both gamma and neutron radiation are nearly impossible to shield.

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.
How is energy released from nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?
Initially as radiation (all types), most of which becomes heat.
What is the difference between nuclear radiation and heat radiation?
Heat radiation is infrared radiation, which is a relatively low frequency radiation, slightly lower than that of visible light. Nuclear radiation includes a variety of types, including X rays and gamma rays, which are very high frequency radiation, and which are consequently much more dangerous, and can cause radiation sickness. There are also other types of nuclear radiation such as alpha rays, beta rays, and neutrons, all of which are in the form of subatomic particles rather than electromagnetic radiation.
Which of the four common types of nuclear radiation corresponds to the following description?
iiuh
What is the relationship between atoms and nuclear forces?
Strong nuclear forces hold the nucleus of an atom together. Weak nuclear forces are involved when certain types of atoms break down.
What type of radiation does a nuclear reactor emit?
A safe reactor don't emit a significant or dangerous quantity of any radiation. But in the core of the reactor all the types of nuclear radiations are emitted.
