Gamma. And a whole lot of it.

radiation just means energy that travels. radio waves are just a type of radiation, so is visible light. anything that radiates, including heat, is radiation.
Radium emits alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation is fully ionized helium nuclei. Beta radiation is high energy electrons. Gamma radiation is very high energy electromagnetic radiation. All of these can do significant damage to living things.
You can type "pics of lady gaga" on googleand you will get the pictures.
The film in the badges changes colour when radiation hits it. By looking at the badges, the people wearing them can tell how much radiation they have been exposed to. They have different strips of film for different types of radiation, so they are not only able to tell how much radiation someone has been exposed to, but also what type of radiation. Its basically a safety measure to ensure that workers are not exposed to excessive levels of radiation emitted from the waste.
Chernobyl is famous for the worst nuclear power plant accident in history.
In normal operation, virtually none. In a bad accident like Chernobyl, a great deal. Fortunately only one Chernobyl type disaster has ever happened.
Human error at any level of technology development or use is the biggest cause of major accidents with the technology, regardless of type of technology.

People emit more radiation than their cell phones do. Most of the radiation people are exposed to daily is not harmful because it is non-ionizing. Inside the Chernobyl reactors grows a type of fungus that actually thrives on radiation. A toy released in the 1950s had uranium samples in it.
um.....yes?
A natural disaster. More specifically a meteorological (weather) disaster.
Given the topic this question is listed under, I think you might be confusing Chernobyl with the bombings of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of WWII. Chernobyl was a nuclear accident at a plant in the Ukraine which took place on April 26, 1986.
The Type Of Radiation That It Produce Is The Gamma Ray!
Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic energy
It can be caused by reactor accidents that release radioactivity, like the Chernobyl disaster. Fortunately that type of incident is most unlikely with the US and EU designs of reactors. It can also be caused by nuclear weapon tests in the atmosphere, but these are now banned by international agreement
