Radiation Talks
“How can you talk about radiation when the butterflies are flying and the bees are buzzing?”
Our play asks the question What is radiation? In light of recent events, friends of the project will discuss radiation and how we can understand it, including questions they ask themselves when faced with news about nuclear power, Japan, radiation levels, and Fukushima vs. Chornobyl. We are not professors nor experts, and you will probably leave with more questions than answers, but we wish to create a framework for understanding how nuclear power actually affects you, and resources as you learn.
Have questions? Comment below and we will answer as soon as possible.
Radiation Talks occur after our April 15th & April 26th Events. For more information click here.

What is the difference between radiation therapy, that cancer patients go through, and radiation from nuclear plants. Radiation therapy is supposed to help patients by killing cancerous cells but high doses of radiation is deadly to the living. What is the difference between “healing” radiation and the deadly radiation?

I also asked this question on Twitter, and Devon (via @BottomfedBuddha ) answered:
“Nothing fundamentally, but healing rad is specifically targeted at cells you want to die, in short term exposures. Deadly rad[iation] is broad exposure over many more organs and over a sustained period of time.”
Thanks for your input! More questions or comments on radiation?
