* Dirty bombs - a mix of explosive with radioactive residue
* Fallout from a nuclear bomb
* Accidental liberate from a nuclear reactor or a nuclear weapons plant

A lot of emission over a short period can cause burns or energy sickness. If the exposure is large enough, it can cause untimely aging or even death.

Although there is no assurance of safety during a radiation tragedy, you can take events to protect yourself. You should have an adversity plan. Being ready can help reduce fear, anxiety and dead.
