Nuclear radiations especially gamma and X rays are highly penetrating in nature. When they pass through the body of the living organism which knocks out the organic molecules and causes disturbances. This causes death. These radiations cause cancer, leukemia that still don't have a proper cure and gross genetic deformities by damaging genetic codes. The children now being born in Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still born with genetic deformities as radioactive pollution does a long term damage. It poisons the soil and groundwater which reaches us through the food chain, thus killing us.
