Description\n\nRadiation therapists design treatment plans for patients and administer radiation therapy treatment in conjunction with radiation oncologists or other medical specialists.\n\n\nA radiation therapist may perform the following tasks:\n\n\n\nfollow the prescriptions of radiation oncologists to work out a treatment plan that delivers the precise radiation dosage to the diseased area while minimising the dose to unaffected tissues\nuse simulators and/or CT scanners to identify the areas to be treated and those to be avoided\ncalculate the precise radiation dose required and start the process of distributing the dose on a planning computer system, and record details of procedures to be utilised\ngive detailed treatment plans to radiation oncologists for approval\nexplain procedures to patients\nposition and stabilise patients in preparation for treatment delivery\nmonitor the patient carefully during the treatment\noperate the treatment machines, associated equipment and computer verification systems to deliver the planned treatment accurately\nobserve quality assurance procedures and record dosage and other relevant details on patients' record sheets\nadvise the patient about self-care procedures for radiation treatment side effects, or refer the patient for further assistance\nsupervise and train students allocated from universities in the practical aspects of radiation therapy\nparticipate in patient and community education regarding radiation therapy.\nRadiation therapists work in hospitals or radiation oncology centres. They work in teams which include radiation oncologists, nurses, medical physicists and other hospital staff.\n\n\nPersonal Requirements:\n\ninterest and ability in science\nable to work accurately and neatly\nable to communicate well\nable to work as part of a team\npatience and empathy.

I'm linking you to the radiochemitry society's listing of graduate programs in nuclear chemistry.  There are a good number of programs listed here, and since they all specialize, the "best" program is the one that you feel will give you right right environment and opportunity to focus on what your specialization will be.  Oh and Harvard is not on the list.

Radiation in physics is a process of emission of energy or particles. Various forms of radiation may be distinguished, depending on the type of the emitted energy/matter, the type of the emission source, properties and purposes of the emission, etc.

Yes, but I would not. Radiation will just cause more pain and suffering, there are better alternatives. For more information on better cures visit the site below.

Cherenkov radiation is Electromagnetic (non-ionising) radiation emitted when a charged particle (e.g. an Electron ) passes through a medium (e.g. water) at a speed greater than that of light in the medium. This can be seen as the characteristic "blue glow" where sources of large activity (e.g. irradiator sources or spent nuclear fuel) are stored under water.\n\nI too have recollections that Cherenkov radiation is primarily asscoiated with Caesium, but I haven't managed to find any confirmation of this.

You will find all sorts of information by searching "Chernobyl radiation effects."  It's looks rather interesting & so I'm going to read it all now.  It gives many different web sites to chose from.

He is probably having radiation implants.  You don't want your children exposed to radiation.  Have your Dad get some information on this for you about the time frame involved and how much radiation is involved, as well.  I wish him well.

Well if we're actually taking this seriously and you're not an alien then your best chances are in the Marvel method. If you expose yourself to Gamma rays, get a genetic mutation on the DNA level or get bitten by a radioactive animal, come back and tell us all how you're getting on! :)

"Radiation therapy is the treatment of cancer with ionizing radiation. Radiation works by damaging the DNA within tumor cells, making them unable to divide and grow. Radiation is often given with the intent of destroying the tumor and curing the disease but although radiation is directed at the tumor, it is inevitable that the normal, non-cancerous tissues surrounding the tumor will also be affected by the radiation and therefore damaged. The goal of radiation therapy is to maximize the dose to tumor cells while minimizing exposure to normal, healthy cells."\n"Because no single therapy can provide complete treatment for a patient with a solid tumor, radiotherapy is often used in combination with surgery or chemotherapy to improve the chances of a successful treatment outcome. Sometimes radiation is used to relieve symptoms, such as pain or seizures; this is called palliative treatment"

Radionucleides.  The only time you might ordinarily be exposed to them is during a medical proceedure wherein the radiation they emit is a desired aspect.  Those proceedures are either for diagnostic purposes or theraputic purposes.  \n\nBad for you?  No, the amount of radiation your body is exposed to during such an exam is quite minimal.  On the other hand, theraputic radiation is very, very carefully controlled and administered.  In the past, folks sometimes experienced quite a bit of discomfort during radiation therapy.  That's much less the case now, and we have medicines to help what discomfort there is - medicines that simply were not avaliable until recently.\n\nThat having been said, there's been a lot of fuss and bother over the possibility of someone "exploding a dirty bomb",  meaning a device that might spread radioactive particles over a wide area.  Despite Homeland Security's attempts to panic us, that is very, very, VERY unlikely.  So is a nuclear accident like Three Mile Island twenty or so years ago - and Three Mile Island, frightening as it was for people living nearby, left nobody outside the plant sick from radiation - nobody.  But a serious accident COULD result in many, many serious injuries and deaths.  The proper response is for surrounding communities to have in place a proper disaster response plan that may include mass evacuation and prophylactic medicines in stock.  Unfortunately, despite all the hype and all the promises, vitually no community has done squat to properly prepare for either a nuclear accident or a deliberate attempt an spreading nuclear-contaminated materal.  Sure as can be, the Federal government has done virtually nothing worthwhile in that respect!   The stinkers...
