When a nuclear power accident occurs - D.) radiation may stick around for a long time and cause cancer

When a person is exposed to very high levels of radiation during any nuclear accident, many ailments can occur like- skin burns etc. The after effects of such radiations are very slow and steady and can result in gene changes in persons. These effects can stay in next generation births as well. It can also result in long-term health effects such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
