Scary Dose of Nuclear Radiation

by Charles Gonzales Gagui - CleVer Vibration

Just so everyone is aware, radiation is real. I am so frustrated on how other people shroud the truth on nuclear radiation as a way of life, just because we experience it everyday. It is true that radiation exists everywhere and we actually get doses of it from our food, water, in-flight, medical procedures and even within our own bodies. 

Still, assuming that a person can drink water the size of a swimming pool everyday, he would not do it if all he needs is just eight glasses. This is the same on radiation exposure. Delivering high-level doses over a short period of time causes mutations genetically as it attacks our DNA and increases occurrence of cancer.

The way it does, radiation releases energy to the environment by breaking down and depositing those energy in our tissues, then in turn directly damage or kill cells. Some cells can become abnormal and later malignant depending on the radiation exposure.

The effects of radiation exposure is not immediate, there were only 39 deaths of workers reported handling nuclear power generation from 1970 to 1992.

Nevertheless, the aftermath of contamination to civilian population is catastrophic. The severity of contamination can kill even millions of years later, destroy near and far-off communities, impinge outlying nations and disrupt the world. Damage will be massive and the cost to contain it will be forever. Exposed communities will despair on the thoughts of early death because of cancer.
