What are some of the dangers of infrared radiation?
It is very unlikely for infrared radiation to have a dangerous effect on people. Normally, it will just make a person feel warmer. High levels can lead to burns and very rarely, cataracts in the eyes.
How will the background radiation a person receives change when they fly in a jet?
At altitude, an individual will enjoy less shielding from radiation by the atmosphere. The person flying is, in general, subject to more radiation that a person on the ground.
Can beta radiation be stopped by a piece of paper?
Alpha radiation is absorbed by a sheet of paper; beta radiation is absorbed by a person; gamma radiation is absorbed by a stell wall. However, small amounts of gamma radiation can still be absorbed by a person.
Is phone radiation harmful to humans?
Phone radiation can be harmful to humans. It is harmful when the person is on the phone a lot.
What is a safe amount of radiation?
Depends on the TYPE of radiation, how long you are exposed and the person being exposed. In the case of ionizing (nuclear) radiation, pregnant women and children have a lower safe level than other persons. For non-pregnant adults, 5,000 millirems per year is the maximum legal occupational exposure. However, the goal is always ALARA- a dose As Low As (is) Reasonably Achievable- meaning you do not expose a person for no reason. Other radiation- such as radio wave energy- has different levels. There is NO "safe" level that does not entail some risk of injury- just levels that are not found to be especially injurious.
What is reaction about nuclear fuel that can take a man in just two weeks?
You presumably mean the radiation from an exposed piece of nuclear fuel (used, not new), which will be so intense that it will kill a person with only a short exposure, though the radiation sickness will take a week or so to cause death.
What can a nuclear bomb do to a person?
Burn them into just a shadow on the ground; permanently blind them; give them radiation poisoning and destroy the cells in their body from the inside out.
What is an underwater technician?
An underwater technician would be a person who was capable of fixing things underwater.

A person who studies underwater life?
marine biologist
Is radiation pneumonitis able to be passed to others?
Radiation pneumonitis is in relation to being exposed to radiation, therefore the only way another person could get this inflammation of the lungs is by having their person exposed to radiation as well.
What is an antinuke?
An antinuker is a person who is against the concept of making nuclear weapons.
How do you a person is able to breathe underwater?
No human being can breathe underwater unless they obtain gills. We are not able to draw in oxygen from H2O.
Safety of nuclear electricity?
Nuclear power plants use the heat generated from nuclear fission in a contained environment to convert water to steam, which powers generators to produce electricity. Nuclear power plants operate in most states in the country and produce about 20 percent of the nations power. Nearly 3 million Americans live within 10 miles of an operating nuclear power plant.Although the construction and operation of these facilities are closely monitored and regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), accidents are possible. An accident could result in dangerous levels of radiation that could affect the health and safety of the public living near the nuclear power plant.Local and state governments, federal agencies, and the electric utilities have emergency response plans in the event of a nuclear power plant incident. The plans define two "emergency planning zones." One zone covers an area within a 10-mile radius of the plant, where it is possible that people could be harmed by direct radiation exposure. The second zone covers a broader area, usually up to a 50-mile radius from the plant, where radioactive materials could contaminate water supplies, food crops, and livestock.The potential danger from a nuclear power plant accident is exposure to radiation.This exposure could come from the release of radioactive material from the plant into the environment, usually characterized by a plume (cloud-like formation) of radioactive gases and particles. The major hazards to people in the vicinity of the plume are radiation exposure to the body from the cloud and particles deposited on the ground, inhalation of radioactive materials, and ingestion of radioactive materials.Radioactive materials are composed of atoms that are unstable. An unstable atom gives off its excess energy until it becomes stable. The energy emitted is radiation. Each of us is exposed to radiation daily from natural sources, including the Sun and the Earth. Small traces of radiation are present in food and water. Radiation also is released from man-made sources such as X-ray machines, television sets, and microwave ovens. Radiation has a cumulative effect. The longer a person is exposed to radiation, the greater the effect. A high exposure to radiation can cause serious illness or death.Although the risk of a chemical accident is slight, knowing how to handle these products and how to react during an emergency can reduce the risk of injury.FOR MORE INFORMATION AND VIDEO GO TO:http:www.emergencysuppliesinfo.com
A person exposed to radiation has no chance of survival?
false because sunlight has radiation and all living things like humans has radiation
What name is a person who works with atomic power?
I have heard the atomic scientist term and read it in many documents.
