At the same speed as the wind that is carrying it (if it is airborne). Potentially very fast if its in a hurricane :)
Gamma radiation travels the furthest in air among the different types of nuclear radiation, as it is highly penetrating and can travel long distances without being easily stopped.
Nuclear radiation travels at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second) in a vacuum. However, when passing through materials like air, water, or tissue, its speed is slightly less due to interactions with these mediums.
Gamma radiation can travel the farthest through matter because it has the highest energy and smallest wavelength, allowing it to penetrate more deeply than alpha or beta radiation.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation travels at the speed of light, which is about 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. UV radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation with shorter wavelengths than visible light.
Nuclear weapons emit various types of radiation, including gamma radiation, neutron radiation, and thermal radiation. These forms of radiation can have harmful effects on living organisms and the environment.
Beta radioactivity radiation.
Beta
Nuclear Plants give off radiation, however when some of the nuclear plants in Japan were destroyed, some of the radiation did travel here but the radiation it sent here isn't strong enough to do any damage :)

There are no immediate signed of nuclear radiation.

All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed. We usually call it "the speed of light" but it's the same for all other forms of electromagnetic waves.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation travels at the speed of light, which is about 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. UV radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation with shorter wavelengths than visible light.
Gamma radiation is the most dangerous type of nuclear radiation if the source is outside the body, as it can penetrate through the body causing damage to cells and DNA. It has the highest energy and can travel the farthest distances.
Nuclear weapons emit various types of radiation, including gamma radiation, neutron radiation, and thermal radiation. These forms of radiation can have harmful effects on living organisms and the environment.
Radiation waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,282 miles per second (300,000 kilometers per second) in a vacuum.
