Food and medical procedures can expose people to radiation. therefore, the effects of radiation from a nuclear power plant are not a reason for concern.

It's false

Explanation:

The radioactive materials of a nuclear plant emit ionizing radiation that can damage tissues. The radiation dose of a person is approximately 2.5 millisieverts per year by radiation from natural sources. Workers in a nuclear industry are exposed to approximately 4.5 millisieverts. Ionizing radiation transfers energy to cell molecules in tissues. As a consequence, these cell functions can be damaged temporarily or permanently. The severity depends on the type of radiation, the dose and the rate of absorption.
