What else can I help you with?
Is containment the cure the to nuclear radiation in chernobyl?
yes if we build a dome around the nuclear reactor we may be able to contain the radiation but we will not be able to clean up the radiation left over already.
If you jump in nuclear waste will you get super powers?
No, you will get sick and die from leukemia, or other cancer by the radioactive waste lying around.
Is nuclear radiation a bad or a good thing?
Nuclear radiation is neither good nor bad, it is a natural phenomenon. Natural phenomena cannot be good or bad (this is an ethical/moral judgement), they are simply facts.
Does nuclear radiation go away?
No, it doesn't.Wrong, it does. There are 2 types of nuclear radiation: prompt & decay.Prompt nuclear radiation occurs for a period of time while the reaction that generates it is happening. Examples are the flash of neutrons, light, x-rays, etc. when a nuclear bomb explodes as well as the sustained neutron flux as a nuclear reactor is in operation. When the reaction stops, prompt nuclear radiation goes away.Decay nuclear radiation occurs as radioactive isotopes decay to different isotopes. As the decay happens (which is a probabilistic process) the radioactive isotope is consumed. This follows an exponential function with one half of the current amount of the radioactive isotope consumed in each period of time called a halflife. While there will always be a tiny residue of the original radioactive isotope, for practical purposes it is considered to be negligible after 5 halflives have passed. When 5 halflives of the radioactive isotope decaying have passed, decay nuclear radiation is considered to have gone away for practical purposes.
What kind of electromagnetic radiation arises only from nuclear excitations?
Gamma Rays
How can nuclear power damage ecosystems?
Radiation
What type of radiation occurs in a nuclear power station?
The primary type of radiation that occurs in a nuclear power station is ionizing radiation, which includes gamma rays, alpha particles, and beta particles. These forms of radiation are produced during nuclear processes such as fission reactions inside the reactor core.
Why isn't nuclear waste have its radiation used for solar power?
Because nuclear waste doesn't give off the same radiation as the sun.
Where is gamma radiation found at?
Gamma radiation is found in various natural sources such as the sun, rocks, and soil. It is also produced by nuclear reactions in nuclear power plants and in medical procedures like radiation therapy. Additionally, gamma radiation can result from nuclear weapons or accidents at nuclear facilities.
What are some disadvantges of nuclear power?
Some disadvantages of nuclear power include the risk of accidents leading to radiation leaks, the long-term storage of radioactive waste, the high costs of building and maintaining nuclear power plants, and concerns about nuclear proliferation and security risks.
Is nuclear power dangerous to humans?
All sorts of nuclear radiation are dangerous. To use nuclear power safely the radiation in the reactor core must not be allowed to escape. Provided this is achieved, it is a safe industry. The health records of those who work on nuclear sites proves this.
Could omputer monitor emit radiation?
No because it doesn't rely on a nuclear or radiation power supply.
Why is radiation being created?
Its being created because nuclear power plants are giving of to much radiation
What are the causes of radiation pollution?
Radon gas, nuclear power plants
How did the radiation leak in japan ocurr?
Due to a nuclear power plant.
Does nuclear power pollute?
Not really. You receive 100 times as much radiation from coal power plant pollution than you do from nuclear power plant leaks.
What has the author Donald N Rasch written?
Donald N Rasch has written: 'Summary of occupational radiation exposure at nuclear power plants 1969 through 1977' -- subject(s): Environmental aspects, Environmental aspects of Nuclear power plants, Nuclear power plants, Radiation dosimetry
