Despite its numerous contributions to human, nuclear power has potential disastrous consequences 
  if it is not properly handled. Nuclear hazards mainly include nuclear reactor accidents and 
  mishandled nuclear wastes, in which radiation is released and cause much harm to human and the 
  environment. In this section, we are going to take a look at the two main hazards mentioned, as well 
  as some ways to protect ourselves from radiation.

Normally, we are exposed to a certian extent of radiation which would not do us 
                                     any harm. However, some basic knowledge for protecting ourselves against 
                                     radiation is essential.
