The radiation which is coming out, in a higher quantity may cause cancer or other disease which at present time will not show any symtoms.However workers working in any nuclear powerplant receives some amount of radiation doses.

If a person is exposed to nuclear radiation taking bath can remove can remove the matrerial from hair and skin.A well managed power plant has traing programs to ensure that new workers are well prepeared to work in the facillity.There should be strict procedures to keep the to keep the doses to workers within limits.For lower defined doses of radiation ,risks of health hazards is insignificant.However one may get a higher radiation than the limit.
