After the big earthquake in Japan, public fears of impending nuclear explosion on Nuclear Power Plant reactor Fukushima, Japan. The fear was probably justified given the effects of radiation on the body can not be taken lightly.
Radiation impact is not straightforward. Could weeks and then new symptoms appear. The impact of radiation on the body depends on the radioactive material is released and the duration of exposure. Exposure to high levels can cause acute radiation syndrome, even death. Syndrome will cause symptoms of nausea, vomiting, fatigue, hair loss, and diarrhea.
At higher levels, victims who are exposed can die within weeks. The reason is that scorched colon. Nuclear radiation will disrupt the ability of cells to divide and produce. The cells in the large intestine is usually a part of the body most rapidly dividing. Similarly, blood-forming cells in bone marrow are highly susceptible to radiation.
Meanwhile, the population included in the low risk group, nuclear radiation can trigger cancer risk in recent years. However, it also depends on the length of exposure and type of radioactive spent nuclear reactor.
Some types of radioactive material there which is easily absorbed by the body and survive. For example, the iodine that will be directly absorbed by the thyroid gland or strontium which will enter the bone. Other types of radioactive, such as tritium, will be quickly removed the body. Children aged less than 18 years, infants, and fetuses in the womb is the group most at risk of exposure to radiation because the cells in their bodies are still actively dividing.
