  1.  @tusharjoglekar  Do you emit light a few days after you've been outside lmao? No, you don't. Reactions happen quickly, and the electromagnetic radiation either gets bounced, reflected or absorbed. It doesn't sit there chilling, just to reappear later. It's physically impossible, for a wave with a particular vector, to discontinue its vector without having some force redirect it. When it comes to alpha and beta they also lead to some reaction, but our bodies are mostly composed of carbon and water which typically do not react to radioactive material. Example: Carbon+alpha->Oxygen+gamma. It'd be a different story if humans were made out of heavy mass atoms, but they aren't, so no fission( or fusion in a cold environment) can occur. Acute radiation syndrome is a result of the physical damage to the tissues, and cancer is the result of radiation reacting with the DNA. Both of these need time to take effect, which she was mentioned in the clip.

  2. Typical death statistics: Dies 1 year earlier than average = 1 death. Dies 50 years earlier than average = 1 death.
