∙ 11y agoThere are basically three types of nuclear radiation i.e alpha, beta and gamma
The order of their increasing ionizing ability is as follows
alpha>beta>gamma

Ionizing radiation consists of subatomic particles or electromagnetic waves that are energetic enough to detach electrons from atoms or molecules, ionizing them. The occurrence of ionization depends on the energy of the impinging individual particles or waves, and not on their number. An intense flood of particles or waves will not cause ionization if these particles or waves do not carry enough energy to be ionizing. Roughly speaking, particles or photons with energies above a few electron volts (eV) are ionizing. Examples of ionizing particles are energetic alpha particles, beta particles, and neutrons. The ability of electromagnetic waves (photons) to ionize an atom or molecule depends on their wavelength. Radiation on the short wavelength end of the electromagnetic spectrum - ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays - is ionizing.
Employees who are likely to receive an occupational dose of ionizing radiation above the designated limits are typically required to wear personal radiation monitors as per the ionizing radiation standard. This includes workers in industries such as nuclear power plants, medical facilities using radiation, and industrial settings working with radioactive materials.
Alpha radiation is the least ionizing type of nuclear radiation. It consists of positively charged alpha particles, which have low penetrating power and are easily stopped by a sheet of paper or clothing.
The primary type of radiation that occurs in a nuclear power station is ionizing radiation, which includes gamma rays, alpha particles, and beta particles. These forms of radiation are produced during nuclear processes such as fission reactions inside the reactor core.
You may be exposed to ionizing radiation through medical imaging procedures like X-rays or CT scans, occupational exposure in industries like nuclear power or nuclear medicine, and environmental sources such as radon gas or radiation from space. Adopting safety measures and minimizing exposure time can help reduce the risks associated with ionizing radiation.
Yes, but not ionizing (nuclear) radiation.
Yes, radiation can be classified as either ionizing or non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, leading to the formation of ions. Examples of ionizing radiation include X-rays, gamma rays, and certain types of nuclear radiation.

both are particle ionizing radiation that comes as a result of nuclear transformation.
It is the unjustified fear of ionizing radiation as x ray and gamma rays and nuclear energy.
