What type of radiation do nuclear weapons emit?
Nuclear weapons emit nuclear radiation, with gamma radiation being the most common and dangerous.
Is radiation good for nuclear energy?
Radiation is a consequence of nuclear energy. In fact, without the radiation of a large neutron flux, nuclear energy would not exist.
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.
Is there gamma radiation in nuclear bombs?
yes there is extreme amounts of gamma radiation in in nuclear bombs
What are 3 main types of nuclear radiation?
1) Nuclear 2)Radiation 3)Your welcome
Which form of radiation is used to directly INCREASE the temperature of water in a nuclear reactor?

How radiation affected by surface temperature?
Nuclear radiation is not affected at all, but radiation by Electromagnetic Radiation is. This is a straight Physics topic, not Nuclear Energy.
How is nuclear radiation affected by temperature?
Not at all
What are the signs of nuclear radiation?
There are no immediate signed of nuclear radiation.
What type of radiation do nuclear weapons emit?
Nuclear weapons emit nuclear radiation, with gamma radiation being the most common and dangerous.
Can increasing temperature increase the number of protons?
No - except in extremes and as part of nuclear processes.
