Fukushima and Chernobyl

Bad news came from Japan. The reason, Japan has raised the level of nuclear radiation hazards due to the destruction of Fukushima Daiichi reactor from level four to five on the standard scale of gravity of the international atomic accident. news by AP, AFP and Kyodo on Friday (18 / 3), this change put the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facilities are two levels below the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine in 1986. Chernobly severity level when it is level seven. Head of the UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, Yukiya Amano in Tokyo warned that the struggle to stabilize at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facilities damaged by the quake are racing with time. Japan's nuclear crisis triggered by an earthquake last week (11 / 3) bermagnitud 9.0 and subsequent tsunami. This causes Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) Fukushima Daiichi exploded.   Anxiety about the dangers of nuclear radiation greater. Worried about the impact of this radiation is not only in Japan but also threatens the entir

The Weird Fact about Effects of Nuclear Radiation on The Human Body

Naturally, the human body has mechanisms to protect themselves from cell damage from radiation and other harmful chemicals. However, radiation at some level can not be tolerated by the body with the mechanisms. Our body when exposed to nuclear radiation, will not cause stimulation of taste.  Another case when exposed to heat. As a result, damage due to radiation exposure can not be perceived as valid, but afterward. Chemistry or physics of balance disorders in a cell will destroy the ability to function normally. 

The Dangers of Nuclear Radiation

Disasters in Japan sparked fears of a nuclear reactor meltdowns as happened at Chernobyl in 1986. Impact of radiation vary, there can be felt immediately and there are newly emerging in the long term. The worst nuclear reactor meltdowns in history occurred in Chernobyl, Ukraine in April 1986. Besides triggering the evacuation of thousands of residents near the scene, the health effects are still felt the victims until many years later such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders and even death. Still clear in our memory with nuclear power plant accident at Chernobyl, Ukraine, on April 26, 1986. Accident caused by explosion of a nuclear reactor number four at the plant had become the biggest accident in history. As many as 4,000 people were killed in the accident, and victims continue to fall after suffering from various diseases caused by exposure to radiation. Some health effects suffered by victims of nuclear radiation, including cancer. The number of victims is still con
