A very high level of radiation exposure delivered over a short period of time can cause symptoms such as nausea and vomiting within hours and can sometimes result in death over the following days or weeks. This is known as acute radiation syndrome, commonly known as “radiation sickness.”
Ionizing radiation, including nuclear radiation, consists of subatomic particles or electromagnetic waves that have sufficient energy to ionize atoms or molecules by detaching electrons from them.

Because ionising radiation has enough energy to remove electrons from atoms, it has the ability to change the chemical composition of the material it interacts with. In living tissue this effect can result in a process that damages DNA and can result in the death or mutation (cancer) of the impacted cell. Larger doses of ionising radiation can cause deterministic effects such as skin burns, radiation sickness or worse.
