∙ 11y ago- Alpha - particle - helium nuclei; short range, stopped by single sheet of paper
- Beta - particle - electron; medium range
- Gamma - electromagnetic; long range
- X-ray - electromagnetic; long range
- Neutron - particle - neutron; long range
- EMP - electromagnetic, if burst is in ionosphere; very long range, can damage electrical and electronic equipment over 1000 miles away from burst

What are 3 main types of nuclear radiation?
1) Nuclear 2)Radiation 3)Your welcome
Is it true that nuclear radiation comes from the decay of atomic nuclei?
Yes, the decay of unstable atomic nuclei is the source of nuclear radiation.
What are three types of nuclear radiation?
Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.
What is the difference between nuclear radiation and heat radiation?
Heat radiation is infrared radiation, which is a relatively low frequency radiation, slightly lower than that of visible light. Nuclear radiation includes a variety of types, including X rays and gamma rays, which are very high frequency radiation, and which are consequently much more dangerous, and can cause radiation sickness. There are also other types of nuclear radiation such as alpha rays, beta rays, and neutrons, all of which are in the form of subatomic particles rather than electromagnetic radiation.
Which of the four common types of nuclear radiation corresponds to the following description?

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 is energy released from nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?
Initially as radiation (all types), most of which becomes heat.

What types of atoms release nuclear radiation?
Isotopes of elements with unstable nucleus release nuclear radiation. Generally theinstabilityis related to the neutron to proton ratio in the nucleus of an atom.
What type of radiation does a nuclear reactor emit?
A safe reactor don't emit a significant or dangerous quantity of any radiation. But in the core of the reactor all the types of nuclear radiations are emitted.
Differences between the four main types of nuclear radiation alpha particles beta particles gamma rays and neutron emission?
There are only three types of nuclear radiation - Alpha, Beta & Gamma.
Why is the nuclear reactor surrounded by a thick concrete layer?
To stop radiation leaking out. Alpha and Beta types of radiation will be stopped by the concrete
What types of hazardous substances are used or created in the production of solar power and nuclear power?
Radiation
