tips for surviving radiation emergencies

Nuclear or radiation emergencies occur when nuclear material or radiation is released or exploded during an accident or attack. An explosion can cause blinding light, heat, fires and dangerous radiation. Now I am going to tell some tips, so you don't die because radioactive material 

- First try to go to the opossite place that the wind is blowing, if possible drive with closed windows

- Find shelter, if below the ground better, but anything that can be used as a shield can help you from being radiated.

-When you arrive to your shelter :Turn off all furnaces, air conditioners and fans.Close vents. Close and lock all doors and windows.Take off your clothes and put them in a plastic bag. Seal the bag tightly.Take a shower or wash your skin and hair well with soap and water.Put on clean clothes.

-watch television for new updates, and if you are hurt call for a doctor.

- If you are far away from the place were the radioactive material is getting out, look for updates and call officials or authorities, so they can tell you were to go.

knowledge of cancer

Whales are bigger than us, that means that they have many more cells, which can mutate harmful or helpful, so they have more possibilities to get cancer and tumors by mutating.

Whales can have cancer, but the probabilities are not so big like in humans, because they have a high level of materials and chemicals that help them to retract it, so after some big calculations, scientists know that 100 out of 5000 whales can develop cancer. Now scientists are looking for those chemicals and it's functions, so they could use them in humans

Summary: Many whales could die from cancer like humans, but most of them don't die, because they have some chemicals that save them. Now scientists are looking for those chemicals, to try to use them in humans.

I liked this article, because it's good that most of the whales don't die because of the cancer
