Question

What are the benefits of nuclear radiation?

Answer 1

Not forgetting that without it the earth would have a solid iron centre, and none on the many geological features such as fold mountains it has today. No life would exist because the sun would not produce heat due to nuclear fusion.

Also, nuclear radiation can be used to treat and find diseases in the body, such as PET, or positron emission tomogrophy.

Nuclear radiation is all around us, the foodwe eat and rocks we live on all emit it, as do we.

Um, I could go on... But if you want any more info, email :)
