Neutrinos- they go through everything and only weakly interact with anything. Its takes thousand of litres of very pure water to even detect them.

What type of nuclear radiation can travel farthest through matter?
neutron emission
What is nuclear transmission?
Nuclear transmission is that measurement of amount of radiation found inside of a shield versus the outside. The transmission is the amount of radiation that is received by passing through the protective shield.
Would the radiation of a Nuclear Bomb effect a person underwater?
Well, yes because radiation can radiate through water
What radiation should be used to check the thickness of foil?
I have been stuck on this question 'what radiation should be used to check the thickness of foil?' and recently I have found out that it is 'Gamma' radiation as it can penetrate through a variety of strong surfaces.
Can radiation penetrate steel?
It depends on the concrete and the type of radiation. If the concrete is feet thick, then it should only pass through the very surface and stop dead in it's tracks mid-way through the concrete. Recap: Yes, but if the concrete is long/wide enough, it will not pass through completely.

neutron emission
Does a nuclear bomb give radiation?
Yes a nuclear bomb gives radiation. Radiation is transfer of energy through empty space.
Why is alpha radiation more dangerous than beta rediation when the source of the radiation is inside the body?
Alpha radiation cannot get pass through our body as it cannot penetrate through things. Beta can penetrate through things better than alpha. So if alpha is inside our body then it cannot get outside our body and therefore it becomes dangerous.
Will not penetrate paper but is harmful if injested or allowed to enter through a wound?
sounds like alpha-radiation - or something decaying and releasing alpha-radiation

Does Radiation travel through space indefinately?
It appears to. Radiation has travelled from nearly the farthest visible stars. There seems no reason to expect it to fade out, at least from open space.

Can radiation travel through solids?
Sure. But the thicker and more dense the solid is, the more radiation is blocked. A nice, heavy blocker of nuclear radiation is lead.
Nuclear medicine techniques work through the detection of this kind of radiation injected into the body by adding a radioisotope to a certain drug?
Gamma rays are a type of radiation. Nuclear medicine techniques work through the detection of this kind of radiation injected into the body by adding a radioisotope to a certain drug.
Can radiation travel through a liquid?
it depends on the type of radiation alpha ((type of)nuclear radiation) can't travel through it for very long Infra red (heat) can but is absorbed by the particles in the water as it goes
