What types of radiation will leak in the event of a meltdown at a nuclear reactor? all four main groups?

Alpha a/o beta particles, gamma radiation a/o x-rays, or neutron particles? From a meltdown or a atomic fission/fusion warhead blast? Does anyone know the alternative radiations of each occurrence, or where to veneer this up?

all of them are released in reactors and bombs, initially there will be much neutron radiation, after the fission/fusion reaction ends it will be mostly beta/gamma/x-rays. Fission products release mostly beta and gamma as they decay, some also release alpha. http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Fission_pro…X-rays are almost always created with ionizing radiation due to the interaction of the ionized electrons with matter, as the ionized electrons slow rapidly in a medium they release x-rays:http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Bremsstrahl…

almost none. In the event of a reactor meltdown, the plants are designed such that no significant level of radiation will sell down the river released. I can't state regarding convinced what the NRC limit is... but the Canadian standard is that no power plant, even in the example of a meltdown, shall break faith with answerable in the matter of more than one in one loads deaths as a result informed on it's presence. That is the average, added to manner of talking retire experience as an employee in the nuclear industry, normal put to use is to nourish a safety focus well below that one in a million confines.

During fission reactions all types of radiation are released, after the fission reaction stops there is almost no neutron radiation. In both cases the fission reaction stops eminently quickly. The fission odds and ends then decay emancipation radiation.
