Nuclear Power and Its Danger

Nuclear power's danger to health,safety,and even life itself can be summed up in one word:radiation.
Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it,partly because it cannot be detected by human senses.
It can't be seen or heard,or touched,or tasted,even though it may be all around us.There are other things
like that.For example,radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them,sense them,without a radio
receiver.Similarly,we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves,
nuclear radiation is not harmless to'human beings and other living things.
At very high levels,radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells in
vital organs.But even the lowest level of radiation can do serious damage.There is no level of radiation that is
comnpletely safe.If the radiation does not hit anything important,the damage may not be significant.This is
the case when only a few cells are hit,and if they are killed outright.Your body will replace the dead cells
with healthy ones.But if the few cells are only damaged,and if they reproduce themselves,you may be in
trouble.They reproduce themselves in a deformed way.They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not
show up for many years.
There is another reason for the mystery of nuclear radiation.Serious damage can be done without the
victim being aware at the time that damage occurs. A person can be irradiated and feel fine,then die of cancer
five,ten,or twenty years later as a result.Or a child can be born weak or liable to serious illness as a result
of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
Radiation can hurt us.We must know the truth. Radiation can cause serious consequences even at the lowest level_______________.
  • A.when it kills a few cells
  • B.if it damages a few cells
  • C.though the damaged cells can repair themselves
  • D.unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves
