If it is borne by wind blown dust and small particles, then as fast as the wind, potentially. If it is direct radiation like gamma rays, then this travels at the speed of light.

Beta radioactivity radiation.


How fast can nuclear radiation travel?

Nuclear radiation travels at the speed of light, which is approximately 670 million mph in a vacuum. Once emitted, it propagates through space or matter at this constant velocity. However, the particles emitted during nuclear decay, such as alpha and beta particles, can travel at slower speeds depending on their energy level and the medium through which they are moving.

What do you know about nuclear plants?

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 :)


What type of nuclear radiation travels furthest in air?

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.


Which type of nuclear radiation travels the fastest?

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.


What are the signs of nuclear radiation?

There are no immediate signed of nuclear radiation.


What type of nuclear radiation can travel farthest through matter?

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.


How fast does ultra violet travel?

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.


Which is the most dangerous type of nuclear radiation if the source is outside the body?

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.


What type of radiation do nuclear weapons emit?

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.


How fast do waves of radiation travel through space?

Radiation waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,282 miles per second (300,000 kilometers per second) in a vacuum.
