Quotes About Radiation

Granite contains a number of naturally occurring substances, one of them being that much-loved radioactive element uranium. Because of this, New York's Grand Central Station gives off more radiation than is permitted at a nuclear power station. Don't worry if you go there though, the rules about building nuclear power stations are extremely strict, and you're not going to come to any harm even if you lived your entire life in the station.

These four did not realize it, but they were coming down with the strange, capricious disease which came later to be known as radiation sickness.

The cancer was pretty well-advanced, already storming her lymph nodes, and it resisted the radiation and the chemo like some kind of unstoppable beast in a low-grade horror film.

This is Poyo. Poyo was exposed to a near-lethal amount of radiation as an egg, during the first stages of a government experiment to create mutant super soldiers--trained in exotic martial arts technique by Tibetan Kung Fu fightin' monks--and given strange bio-enhancements during a rash of farm animal abductions by extra-terrestrials. Nah, just kidding. None of that shit is true. Poyo is just really, really bad ass.

Abnormal radiation exposure and oxygen starvation teaches you that reality is just a perception that is derived from your immediate environmental conditions.

A certain percentage of technological societies severely damage their own planets before they become mature enough to understand the damage they are doing. In the past, a number of species have gone extinct before they achieved interstellar flight because of that damage, usually through runaway biological warfare or atomic warfare, with its consequent radiation poisoning.

There are only four ways to move heat around: convection, conduction, transport, or radiation.

At 1.24 am on 26 April 1986 Chernobyl's Unit 4 reactor exploded after staff disabled safety systems and performed an ill-advised experiment to check – ironically enough – the reactor's safety.

In other words, not only have there been no fatalities resulting from Fukushima, but there have been no radiation-related injuries or medically-identifiable health effects either.

In fact the only documented deaths attributable to Fukushima actually happened through panic-stricken attempts to avoid radiation.

Even if you built your house right at the perimeter fence of your local nuclear plant, you would still receive many times less additional radiation than an airline crew member would consider entirely normal, for example.

Coal-fired power stations in fact release far more radiation into the environment than nuclear power stations, due to trace radionuclides being concentrated into coal ash and blown away in dust and smoke.

The dividing line between the wave or particle nature of matter and radiation is the moment "Now." As this moment steadily advances through time it coagulates a wavy future into a particle past.

Your cable television is experiencing difficulties. Please do not panic. Resist the temptation to read or talk to loved ones. Do not attempt sexual relations, as years of TV radiation have left your genitals withered and useless.

The Wesen is sense of radiation, connected to materials, ingraspable outside of the fact or outside of existence. It is the way in which a whole is produced and reproduced, inseparable from this production. (verbal) Wesen

RADIOACTIVITY IS A SPECIAL KIND OF ENERGY THAT COMES FROM INSIDE THE ATOMS IN CERTAIN METALS OR CHEMICALS. WHEN SOMETHING IS RADIOACTIVE, IT GIVES OFF ENERGY RAYS UNTIL THE ENERGY IS ALL GONE.

I will continue to push for doubling the strength of the U.S. Border Patrol, and to make sure that every cargo container that enters this nation is screened for radiation and potential weapons of mass destruction.

Where does the evidence that absolves low-frequency electromagnetic radiation come from? From those very same necromancers-scientists!-who conjured up the evil stuff in the first place. Once the tag "unnatural" has been firmly affixed, it is very difficult to shed. The odor of brimstone persists, and the strongest objective evidence cannot dispel it entirely.

Over the last decade, the standard criteria for relapse, or biochemical failure, after radiation has been the consensus definition of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology

Because it can take two to even six years for a man to reach his PSA nadir after radiation, this initial "false rise" in PSA level after the hormonal therapy ends might lead to needless worry from a wrongful diagnosis

The purpose of radiation treatment is to disable the prostate, to stop cancer there from continuing to grow. Because the prostate is the source of PSA, if PSA continues to be made and its level begins to rise, there are two possibilities. Either the cancer has reactivated locally, within the prostate or surrounding tissue, or a distant metastasis—a tiny bit of cancer that probably escaped the prostate before treatment began—has started causing trouble.

And yet, from time to time, beneath this thick layer of amnesia, you can certainly sense something, an echo, distant, muted, but of what, precisely, it is impossible to say. Like finding yourself on the edge of a magnetic field, with no pendulum to pick up the radiation.

Omuta's sun would not flare and rupture, would never endanger life on the planet with waves of heat and radiation. Instead the sun would shrink and collapse into a small black sphere, with every erg of its fusing nuclei lost to the universe for ever.
