Everywhere I’ve researched has said that radiation just burns, but every time I look for images of what it does it completely contradicts this statement by showing me radioactive mutants… so where do they come from?
In: Earth Science
radioactive mutants are more sci-fi than reality. while exposure to ionizing radiation does damage cells (ie cause mutations), they are no where on the scale of growing a third eye or third arm. a heavy dose of ionizing radiation causes extreme damage (ie burns). whereas a low dose would cause less obvious damage/mutation, which might result in birth defects in the children, but still, nothing along the lines of hollywood “mutants”.
