The radiation sign is posted to warn individuals of their proximity to a source of radiation. The sign is non-specific in that it does no specify a type of radioactivity or what source is involved. Other signs or cues will have to be observed to gather more details. For instance, if you are in a nuclear power plant, the radiation hazards are associated with the reactor itself. Gamma rays and neutron radiation might be encountered under certain conditions, and all precautions must be observed. A link can be found below for more information. It would be a good idea to check out the signs because they have and are continuing to change.
