What is Nuclear Radiation? Gamma Alpha Beta Nutrons?
Really how dangerous is Radiation to health?
"Fossil fuel is millions of times more distructive than Nuclear power could ever be."
Recent events in Japan have focused attention once again on radiation -- what effect it can have and whether nuclear power is a viable solution for our growing energy needs. Professor John McInerney talks about radiation -- what it is, what it does and doesn't do, and how it impacts our lives.
About the speaker: John McInerney is Professor and Head of Physics at University College Cork, Ireland and also co-director of the opto-electronics group at the Tyndall National Institute. Before joining UCC he held academic positions at the University of New Mexico (USA) and the University of Cambridge, and is an adjunct professor at the University of Arizona.
He has also worked in industry, both in large photonics and electronics companies and in small start-ups. He received his BSc in Physics from University College Cork and PhD from Trinity College, Dublin Ireland.

This video is about Radiation.
The Video response video linked is about Nuclear reactors, how they work, how they can go wrong, and addresses Fossil vs Nuclear power. Also should Ireland start research in new safer Nuclear Energy Technology.
