Naturally, the human body has mechanisms to protect themselves from cell damage because of radiation and other harmful chemicals. However, as quoted by FoxNews, Sunday (03/13/2011), radiation at a certain level can not be tolerated by the body with the mechanisms.

Health editor of Foxnews Health, Dr Manny Alvarez said that there are 3 factors that affect the impact of nuclear radiation. All three include the total radiation , how close to the radiation source and the last is how long the victim by radiation.

These three factors will determine what the impact will be felt by victims. High radiation can directly trigger a direct impact that can be known, while radiation can trigger unconscious long-term effects are usually even more dangerous.
Momentary or short-term impact due to high radiation in the vicinity of nuclear reactors are as follows.

1. Nausea, vomiting
2. Diarrhea
3. Headache
4. Fever.

Meanwhile, the emerging impact of exposure to nuclear radiation during several days of them are as follows.
1. Dizziness, eye dizzy
2. Disorientation or confusion determine direction
