Beta Radiation Beta radiation is a light, short-range particle and is actually an ejected electron.
Gamma and X Radiation Gamma radiation and x rays are highly penetrating electromagnetic radiation.

6. What is Effects of Exposure to Radiation?
Nuclear Radiation and Health Effects
(Updated December 2013)
Natural sources account for most of the radiation we all receive each year.
The nuclear fuel cycle does not give rise to significant radiation exposure for members of the public, and even in two major nuclear accidents – Three Mile Island and Fukushima – exposure to radiation has caused no harm to the public.
Radiation protection standards assume that any dose of radiation, no matter how small, involves a possible risk to human health. This deliberately conservative assumption is increasingly being questioned, and its application following the Fukushima accident caused much suffering and many deaths.

7. What is Radiation Sickness?
