Which type of radioactivity would be most dangerous if you were exposed to it from a source outside of your body?
Gamma radioactivity would be the most dangerous because, unlike alpha particles that can be blocked by paper or skin, and beta particles which can be shielded by foil, gamma radioactivity would need a lead shield. Plus gamma radioactivity effects organic material.
Are Ibex dangerous?

Is the radioactive waste from nuclear power plants dangerous?
It contains a higher amount of radioactivity
You nuclear wastes must be stored for centuries to prevent dangerous radioactivity from escaping?
Yes
