That would depend on the dosage received:
- < 1 REM - forget it, maybe you will get cancer a few years before you die but not much can be done. most likely you will have no problems from the exposure.
- 200 REM to 500 REM - go to hospital, you are near LD50 levels. the hospital can help you improve chances of survival and recovery.
- > 3000 REM - sorry even the hospital can't help you as you will die. they might be able to make you more comfortable but they will need beds and drugs to treat those that might survive, not those that have no chance.
Dosages outside these ranges it is very hard to make recommendations.
Now, how to know what dosage you got is a much harder question to answer, unless you always carry a self-reading dosimeter with you 24 hours a day.

How does nuclear radiation effect the ocean?
Nuclear radiation doesn't affect the ocean itself, but the animals that live there. Just like any living thing, if an ocean animal is exposed to high level of radiations it might develop mutations, and/or cancer, leading to a painful death.
A person exposed to radiation has no chance of survival. true or false?
False. The chances of survival for a person exposed to radiation depend on the type, dose, and duration of exposure. Treatment and medical interventions can help improve survival rates for individuals exposed to radiation.
Which one is not a type of nuclear radiation.. Alpha particles Beta particle Neutron or Visible light?
All of them - alpha - beta - neutron - visible light - are examples of nuclear radiation.
What are five occupations that pose greater risks of mutation to DNA?
Radiologists and radiologic technologists who are exposed to ionizing radiation. Chemical plant workers who handle mutagenic chemicals. Healthcare workers, such as nurses, who are exposed to chemotherapy drugs. Airline pilots and flight attendants who are exposed to higher levels of cosmic radiation at high altitudes. Construction workers who are exposed to asbestos, which is a known carcinogen.

What do you call a sign of a nuclear?
A sign of a nuclear disaster could be heightened levels of radiation, visible damage to structures or vegetation near a nuclear facility, or abnormal health effects in individuals exposed to radiation.
What types of radiation should you be worried about?
The most dangerous type of radiation is Nuclear radiation which is the one that should be most worried about.
How are people exposed to radiation?
People can be exposed to radiation through natural sources like the sun or radon gas, as well as through medical procedures like x-rays or radiation therapy. Additionally, exposure can occur from man-made sources such as nuclear power plants, nuclear weapons testing, or accidents like Chernobyl or Fukushima.
What can nuclear energy do to you?
Being exposed to nuclear energy could do many things depending on how much exposure Burns Radiation Poisioning Cancers Defects Death
What makes a nuclear plant dangerous?
A nuclear melt down puts the people within hundreds of miles around at risk by being exposed to radiation and dying from it.
In 1999 there was a bad nuclear accident in Japan exposing dozens to what?
In 1999, there was a nuclear accident at the Tokaimura uranium processing facility in Japan, which exposed dozens of workers to high levels of radiation. This accident resulted from a criticality accident during the processing of nuclear fuel.
Do structures retain nuclear radiation?
Yes, if they are exposed to irradiation or nuclear contamination. That is one of the arguments against nuclear power, that not only is nuclear waste produced in the reactor, but that eventually the entire reactor container will have to be disposed of or isolated.
What happens when cells are exposed to nuclear radiation?
Exposure to nuclear radiation can damage cells by disrupting their DNA, leading to mutations and potential cell death. This damage can result in a variety of health effects, including increased risk of cancer, infertility, and radiation sickness. The severity of the impact depends on factors such as the dose of radiation received and the type of radiation.
How can a nuclear plant put a home in danger?
If the nuclear plant has an accident that allows radiation to leak, the radiation can make nearby receptors quite ill. Edit: This is a bit of an understatement tbh. If the radiation "leaks" and people nearby are exposed to said radiation, statistically, their chances of all manner of diseases is increased. Mainly cancer.
How does nuclear radiation effect the ocean?
Nuclear radiation doesn't affect the ocean itself, but the animals that live there. Just like any living thing, if an ocean animal is exposed to high level of radiations it might develop mutations, and/or cancer, leading to a painful death.
What are the signs of nuclear radiation?
There are no immediate signed of nuclear radiation.
