The principal risks associated with nuclear power arise from
health effects of radiation. This radiation consists of subatomic
particles traveling at or near the velocity of light---186,000
miles per second. They can penetrate deep inside the human body
where they can damage biological cells and thereby initiate a
cancer. If they strike sex cells, they can cause genetic diseases
in progeny.
