Atomic
Explosions emit various kinds of radioactive rays. These
radiations have effect on the biosphere. There are two
kinds of radioactive reactions. The one is electromagnetic
radiation. X-Rays and y - Rays stand on that class. This
kind of radiation has a very short wave length and a high
frequency. The other kind is Panticulate radiation.
Automatic particle like electrons, protons, neutron or
& - particles create this kind of radiations.
The
effect of radioactivity can be divided into three classes
- a) Immediate effect 2) Delayed effect c) General
effect
The
third section harms animal and human life most. The
affected person bears the effect to his/her next
generation. The radioactive effect was first detected in
1896, one year later than innovating X-ray.
WHO
said that , in animal bodies, WBC s are effected by 25-50 roentgen
radiation. If the limit of radiation is in between
400-600 roentgen 50% of affected captured death. And in
the case of 600-700 roentgen the affected person will
certainly die between 30 days of contamination.
The
delayed effect of radioactivity is a very mysterious case.
Perhaps the radiation effects immediately the cell-tissues
but no one can detect it without and physical analysis.
But after a year's gap it seems that the person carries a
secure problem, Cancer, Leukemia. An immature death
occurs in delayed effect of radioactivity. But the main is
genetically problem of radioactivity . In this case the amount
of radiation is not the major problem, but
Chromosomal effect makes this sector incurable.
We
should have to keep it in mind that all radioactive
elements are not equally harmful for our life. The
isotopes which have more half life period that the life
period of a person are not so harmful. If a radio isotope
does not radiate any radioactive rays before person's
natural dearth, it is not harmful. As for example, the
half life period of U235 is 710 millions year.
so it is not harmful as it's half life is so long.
The
effect of radioactivity depends on the radio radiations.
the y-ray is the most harmful when it works from outside
of human body. and alfa ray harms least. But when it
reverses the effects also reverse y-rays can penetrate the
human body while bita rays can trace only the cell
tissues. alfa rays can penetrate almost nothing of human
body.
The
radioactive radiations also come form cosmos. Cosmic rays
with radio active radiation also harm our normal life. As
for example in UK, average rate of radio rays is 0.15 roentgen
per year on a person at sea level, in which 0.035 roentgen
comes from cosmic rays. In high attitude in Denuer at the
same place, the radio active effect from cosmic rays is
0.05 rontgen. Here we have a statistical record in which
we see the number of effected persons in Bone Cancer and Leukemia
at 1047 before starting any nuclear weapons testing.

The
persons who are in medical treatment of Thymaus glands or
ankylosing spondylitis are suffering from radioactive rays
as they are taking X-ray therapy.
Immature
death also occurs as a reaction of radioactivity. We have
another statistical record in which we can see the
assuring shorting of life period by radioactive reaction
in compare with the other sources. Dr. Hardin Jones gave
us the data by analyzing various information.

At
the end, we can only say that nuclear power is the
enormous source of power. But abuse of this energy will
bring about destruction of human life and nature. So we
should certainly use the energy keeping a perfect
protection.
