Radiation Exposure

What are the chances of being overexposed to nuclear radiation?
Radiation Exposure Radiation Exposure
Although one or two accidents have threatened people living in the vicinity of Radiation nuclear plants, governmental authorities are moving towards many missing possibilities of the release of radioactive substances. To date, there are no proven cases of harmful effects to people living near nuclear plants.

What would be the first–aid treatment should radiation exposure actually take place?
People threatened with radiation exposure should evacuate the area in a quick, orderly manner. Local authorities will give specific instructions on how best to do it. People already exposed should remove and discard all clothing that was worn at the time of the exposure and should wash their bodies thoroughly for a prolonged period of time in a shower. Medical advice should be sought promptly. Evacuation and admission to a hospital out of the area of radiation may be advised.
