Know Nuclear Waste 

It is widely known that ionizing radiation - radioactivity powerful enough to strip electrons from atoms, break chemical bonds of molecules, and even break chromosomes - can be extremely harmful to humans. Even at low levels, ionizing radiation has the potential to cause DNA damage resulting in an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells, or what is commonly known as cancer.
