Ionising Radiation
What
is radiation and how are we exposed to it?
What
is the difference between ionising radiation and radioactivity?
Is
there more than one kind of ionising radiation?
Will
these ionising radiations make me radioactive?
If
ionising radiation does not make a thing radioactive how do items
become radioactive in a nuclear reactor?
Will
radiation build up in the body until it gets to a point where
it will kill you?
Well,
if radiation does not build up in the body, how does it harm a
person?
So
if I get a dose of radiation, will I be killed?
How
much is this large dose of radiation?
Where
does my annual radiation dose come from?
What
are the man-made sources of my radiation dose?
Can
you put some figures on these natural background and man-made
radiation doses?
When
you say 'on average', does this mean that some people get more
radiation than others?

Health Effects of Radiation
What
are the health effects of radiation?
Is
is dangerous for anyone to experience these higher levels of radiation
dose?
Did
you suggest earlier that if I get a radiation dose more quickly
it would do more damage?
What
kinds of radiation damage can occur?
What
is the chance of getting a fatal cancer from a dose of radiation?
What
is the chance of radiation causing genetic mutations that are
passed on to my children?
How
can I tell when I am being over exposed to radiation?
How
can I protect myself against radiation?
How
may I measure my radiation dose, and what are the limits?

Daya
Bay Nuclear Power Station
How
much radiation do I get from nuclear power plants?
What
guidelines are followed for the release of radioactivity from
nuclear plants?
How
can we be certain that nuclear power plants are having minimal
effects on the environment?
What
is the risk to the public from radioactivity released from nuclear
plant operations?
Are
benefits of nuclear energy worth the risks?

How
safe is the Guangdong Nuclear Power Station at Daya Bay?
How
does radioactive material travel?
If
there ever was a nuclear reactor incident, how might the Hong
Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) be affected?
How
would the Daya Bay Contingency Plan operate?
How
would the HKSAR Government's response be organized?
What should you
do?
How
shall we let you know what's going on?
