Which type of reaction produces the most harmful radiation?
Correct answer: B. Fission reaction
- A. Fusion reaction
- B. Fission reaction
- C. Chemical reaction
- D. Photo-Chemical reaction
Explanation
Nuclear fission produces radioactive fragments and long-lived radioactive waste, making its radiation hazard greater than that of ordinary chemical or photochemical reactions. Fusion can also produce radiation, but it does not create the same large quantity of long-lived fission products.
