There are two types of radiation: non-ionizing and ionizing. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to ionize atoms and molecules and remove electrons, and can be harmful to human health. Nuclear power plants and nuclear bombs both involve radiation, but nuclear power plants have lower uranium concentration and a slower nuclear reaction than nuclear bombs, so they do not explode and have lower potential for harm. Radiation exposure can lead to health issues like leukemia, cancer, and nausea.
