What is RADIATION?

             Hi people. Would like to start the title by saying a big thank you for the positive respond you'll have given. Appreciate it very much. There are many comments on telling us to update more on our blog information on nuclear. Well we promise you that there will be update everyday on NEW TOPIC. So sit back. Once you get a new information, digest it, then we will add a new hot topic to give u more and more on Nuclear Tech.=)
             So this time around, we are talking about radiation. Now most people out here in Malaysia as i said earlier, has been afraid to even think about NUCLEAR for they are thinking that, its an explosive. Now may be after reading the earlier information, and after messages has been spreading around they might calm down to 1%. But we know that people will keep pointing out negative thoughts once they have a bad impression on certain things. Therefore, even we have explained about REACTOR, we are now going to talk about RADIATION.
             If the word Nuclear carries such a bad thought, radiation plays a double of it people's mind. What is RADIATION. Sound scary, but the truth is, radiation has been there in our daily life. None of us are aware of it. A natural Nuclear Reactor that undergoes the process of fusion is our SUN. If the Sun is a huge Nuclear Reactor then it is Radioactive. Hahaha believe or not. Here we have a picture to explain about the amount of radiation that is being produced by all things surrounding us.

               Take a look at the picture which was released by Japan Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Technology, and you will find that the natural radiation of an average adult is 2400 microSv (micro = 10^-6) Per YEAR. Do not be afraid, and accept the truth that we are producing such a radiation level. Nothing is happening to us. Yes people, like all things around us vibrate, all things around us also radiate. The tress, the land even your MOBILE!! When you look at the top of the chart, Brazilian has a natural radiation of 10,000 microSv. This means that when you get to Brazil, something terribly is going to happen to you. WRONG!! Its just like you are use to sleep in your room in your house, and one day you are shifted to the next door, you find a room and settled down. And you find it is hard to sleep. Why is that so? Because the radiation is high. NO!! Its just because you have been used to your older house. Just like that, people in Brazil are use to the radiation level. Therefore when you go to Brazil, you might be having a few changes in your health. These changes are showing that you are adapting to the new environment. And after few days you find that, you enjoy sleeping in the new room.
              Coming to the point. The radiation level surrounding a nuclear power plant (NPP) from the pyramid can be seen is 50 microSv per YEAR. Do not get confuse because the amount of radiation by X-RAY is 50 microSv ONE TIME you go for scanning. This is the reason people in Fukushima are not affected by the NPP radiation because it is too small. Therefore if you are to proceed with MRI or CT scan, it can be observed that several changes happen such as dropping of hair and so on because it is very high in radiation.
              Therefore people, it is time for us to accept the truth that we have been living in a world of radiation all this while without us knowing. The reason i have been posting this to IMPORTANT article so that we get an idea about what is NUCLEAR REACTOR and RADIATION. Here after people would not be wondering, "what if it blast like a BOMB?" or "the radiation is so high that it can KILL us!!".=)
              Trust me that even I has been talking in that way because not knowing the truth for we were not exposed to, until we leap for a change. May be some will be complaining bout stomach ache blaming on the radiation of the yesterdays dinner (hehehehe...=D). Stay tuned for the next post tomorrow.
