Ionizing <br /> radiation from x-rays and nuclear power plants, which vibrates at high frequencies <br /> and produces large amounts of energy, has long been regarded as extremely <br /> dangerous to humans and other living creatures.!2 With enough energy to knock <br /> electrons free from their orbit around the nucleus of an atom, ionizing radiation <br /> creates unstable atoms with positive and negative charges.
