In the Far East from the sale of iodine had disappeared, and the producers and sellers of dosimeters are not only sold all the available devices in warehouses, but also collected pre-orders for six months or a year in advance. But is it scary radiation? .
What is radiation? . Three main types of ionizing radiation, usually denoted by Greek letters alpha, beta and gamma. Alpha radiation - a stream of helium- 4 ( almost all the helium from the balloons once the alpha- radiation), the beta - a stream of fast electrons ( positrons, at least ), and gamma - photon flux of high energy. Another type of radiation - neutron flux. Ionizing radiation (except for the X-ray ) - the result of nuclear reactions, so no mobile phones or microwave ovens are not the sources of his.
