After-Pop! A Brief Explanation of Radiation from Ep3

The After-Pop! Demystifying Ionizing and Non-Ionizing Radiation Welcome back to Naked Nuclear, where we simplify nuclear technology. In this episode, we dive into radiation—its origins, types, and measurements.  Learn about non-ionizing and ionizing radiation, explore their sources, and understand how we measure radiation exposure. Discover the three types of ionizing radiation: alpha, beta, and gamma.  We also discuss how to stay safe with guidelines on dose, time, and exposure limits. Join us in making radiation a less intimidating and more understood part of our world.
