Interpretation:
Among fossil fuel power plant and nuclear power plant, the one that exposes the community to more nuclear radiation has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Nuclear energy and radiation has both useful and harmful effects. Nuclear weapons are used to harm and nuclear isotopes are also used in medicines to cure. Nuclear radiation such as alpha, beta, and gamma disrupt the normal cells in the living organisms by interaction of the important
Humans are always exposed to natural and artificial background radiation. Background radiation sources are cosmic radiation, radioactive elements and minerals that are found in natural resources.
