You should stay away from all children as a precaution. You will be excreting the radioactivity through your skin's pores (sweating), breastmilk, urine, and feces. As a rule you should stay at least 3-5 feet away from your child for 1 week to be safe. The less exposure the better because the radioactivity damages rapidly producing cells. Your baby is growing rapidly (his first growth spurt) til the age of 2 and therefore has a lot of rapidly producing cells to be damaged.

The difference between nuclear waste and nuclear weapons?
The exact contents of radioactive waste from a nuclear power plant and radioactive fallout from a nuclear weapon can vary widely but are likely to be similar in their primary isotopes.The major difference between the radioactive waste from a nuclear power plant and radioactive fallout from a nuclear weapon is that the waste is normally contained and will not enter the environment (unless an accident happens) while the fallout is dispersed into the environment and is carried by the wind (sometimes all the way around the world multiple times).
Is the use of high level radioactive waste from nuclear power station for the production of the raw materials for nuclear weapons a justifiable proposition?
High level radioactive waste would have no potential for producing a nuclear explosion, so your question is puzzling. Perhaps you mean production of a dirty bomb, which terrorists might use to contaminate an area by spreading radioactive material around using a conventional explosive. That is obviously not justified unless you are a terrorist.Plutonium can be extracted from spent uranium fuel and used in nuclear weapons, but I would not describe it as high level radioactive waste, plutonium is only mildly radioactive.In fact I think at present in the US and in Russia, the stockpile of nuclear weapons is being reduced and some of the fissile material is going into civil nuclear reactor fuel.
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.
Example of radioactive waste?
alpha particles, beta particles, gamma radiation
What is the plan for long term storage of nuclear waste?
Currently, nuclear waste is stored in large, radiation resistant containers underground in remote locations around the world. There have been discussions about how governments will be dealing with nuclear waste in the future, but no definitive answer has been concluded. There were once talks of launching it into our sun, but some scientists believed this to be a catastrophicly bad idea. So to sum it all up, if you think of a good plan be sure to let your government officials know :)
What is thyroid nuclear scan?
A thyroid nuclear medicine scan is a diagnostic procedure to evaluate the thyroid gland, which is located in the front of the neck and controls the body's metabolism. A radioactive substance that concentrates in the thyroid is taken orally or injected into a vein (intravenously), or both. A special camera is used to take an image of the distribution of the radioactive substance in and around the thyroid gland. This is interpreted to evaluate thyroid function and to diagnose abnormalities. i hope that this answer helped you..!
How radioactive is hydrogen?
Hydrogen itself is not radioactive. However, tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, is used in some applications like certain types of nuclear reactors and in nuclear weapons. It emits low-energy beta radiation and has a half-life of around 12 years.

How long does radioactive iodine stay in the body after a radioactive iodine thyroid treatment?
Radioactive iodine can stay in the body for a couple of days to a few weeks after a radioactive iodine thyroid treatment. The time it takes for the radioactivity to decrease to a safe level depends on the dose given and individual factors. It is important to follow safety guidelines to minimize exposure to others during this time.

Is radioactive treamtment safe for goiter?
There is no "safe" level of radiation but the treatment of a goiter using radioactive Iodine is not a big risk because the thyroid gland takes up almost all of the radioactive Iodine very quickly so it doesn't keep 'floating' around the body. See this link: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/iodide+goiter for additional information.
What radioactive isotope is generally used to fuel a controlled nuclear chain reaction?
235U with a 5% enrichment of 238U is generally used to fuel a controlled nuclear chain reaction. In a navy nuclear application, such as a submarine, a higher enrichment of 238U is used, around 20%.
What is the Environmental hazards of a nuclear reactor?
The nuclear Reactor is safe unless a Radioactive Leak happens. The chances of a Radioactive Leak Happening is quite low. The main concern is that when nuclear power plants use the lakes or rivers to gain coolants is that it can kill the fishes due to thermal pollution (waste heat) in the particular area. The other Concern is the Waste. The nuclear waste emits around 148 Roentgens Per hour and has to be buried at locations that will be Uninhabitable for thousands of years to come.
Where do nuclear decay occur naturally?
Radioactive Decay occurs naturally all around us. If you test for radiation with a Geiger Counter, you will find that it picks up radiation in the air around you. Mostly, however, radioactive decay occurs in the earth's crust. I cannot name a specific element, as there are many that decay.
What wrong with nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy has the potential risks of accidents, such as meltdowns or leaks that can have severe consequences for both humans and the environment. There is also the issue of nuclear waste disposal, as it remains radioactive and hazardous for thousands of years. Additionally, nuclear energy production can be expensive and faces challenges around public perception and acceptance.
How is radioactive dust spread around the world?
Radioactive dust can be spread around the world through various mechanisms, including atmospheric dispersion following nuclear accidents, testing, or explosions. Wind can carry fine particles over long distances, while precipitation can also facilitate the deposition of radioactive materials onto the ground. Additionally, human activities such as mining and military operations can disturb radioactive materials, contributing to their dispersal. Lastly, ocean currents and river systems can transport radioactive particles, further spreading them globally.
Weight of a newborn chimpanzee in pounds?
The weight of a newborn chimpanzee is around 3 pounds. The weigh of a newborn gorilla is between 3 and 4 pounds.
