Radiation exposures are carefully monitored for all operational staff, and if anyone exceeds the permitted dose over a period they would be given other work to average things out. The permitted dose has been evaluated over a long period (the last 50 years or so) and is reviewed by international authorities. As far as I know all countries with nuclear plants sign up to and implement the recommendations.
In fact nuclear plant staff have a good health record, perhaps because they have yearly medical checks so that conditions are often found earlier than for the general population. By this I mean conditions which all humans are liable to, like heart trouble, Diabetes, cancer, etc.

What damage can a nuclear weapon do?
A nuclear weapon can cause devastating effects including blast waves, heat, and radiation. They can destroy buildings, cause widespread fires, and release harmful radioactive fallout that can have long-term health consequences for those exposed. The size and type of nuclear weapon will determine the extent of the damage it can cause.
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.
How much damage can be caused by a nuclear bomb?
The damage caused by a nuclear bomb depends on various factors such as the size of the bomb and the distance from the epicenter of the explosion. In general, a nuclear bomb can cause devastating destruction, including severe structural damage, fires, and radiation exposure, potentially leading to widespread casualties and long-term health effects. The most powerful nuclear bombs have the potential to level entire cities and cause significant environmental damage.
How much damage does a nuclear meltdown cause?
A nuclear meltdown can cause extensive damage, including the release of radioactive materials into the environment, radiation exposure to humans and wildlife, and contamination of land and water sources. The extent of the damage depends on factors such as the reactor design, containment capabilities, and response measures taken.
What is the meaning of nukes?
"Nukes" is a colloquial term for nuclear weapons, which are explosive devices that derive their destructive power from nuclear reactions. These weapons can cause devastating damage and are considered weapons of mass destruction.
Why do nuclear power stations need to be cooled down?
Because, if they aren't, the excess heat will damage the reactor.
Who is the Minister of State for the Nuclear Damage Compensation Facilitation for Japan?
Toshimitsu Motegi is the Minister of State for the Nuclear Damage Compensation Facilitation for Japan.
What are the problems of power stations?
The stations letting CO2 gas out to the atmosphere to act as a blanket or a green house so this makes our earth warmer and this stations damage our plants and animals.

you can get cancer and die from it .
What causes the gretest damage in an exsplosion?
The radiation if it is a nuclear explosion.
What resources carries a high potential for environmental damage?
nuclear :)
How are nuclear disasters caused by earthquakes?
Earthquakes can damage the safety systems of nuclear power plants, which can lead to meltdowns.
What World War 2 inventions did a lot of damage?
nuclear bomb
Why are nuclear power stations bad?
Strictly speaking, nuclear power stations aren't really that bad, since every method of getting energy has pros and cons. The disadvantages of nuclear power stations are that they create some waste products. These things are radioactive and waste with high radiation output (over 90% of waste does not emit more radiation than a cup of coffee) will cause long term damage to anyone staying near it for awhile. Around 90% of the available energy in the fuel rods when they are removed from the reactor after three fuel cycles (the typical period). If the highly radioactive fission fragments were extracted and the fissionable material reprocessed into new fuel (as they have been doing in France for decades), the remaining volume of radioactive material would be significantly reduced. Another disadvantage is that nuclear power stations may melt down, irradiating the land around them. There is actually a low chance of a meltdown, but when it does happen, an entire region can be contaminated and poisoned.
