“Unbelievable Transformation: Man’s Reckless Encounter with a Particle Accelerator Defies Science!”
Its Relative Scarcity Is A Good Thing For Biological Life
It’s probably a good thing that it’s so rare, because it’s harmful to our DNA, destroys cells, and may cause cancer. This radiation can also disrupt the making of red and white blood cells in the marrow.
That is a huge indication as to why high doses often led to illnesses like anemia and infections.
Proton Beams Can Have Positive Effects
It’s mostly in the treatment of some forms of cancer. Cancerous cells can divide at a fast rate, and they’re susceptible to DNA damage that’s caused by proton radiation.
Additionally, this treatment has advantages over other forms of radiotherapy, only because it can be aimed directly at specific tumors.
The Beam That Went Through Burgoski Was More Powerful Than The Ones Used In Radiotherapy
Its electron voltage was approximately 76 billion, compared to 250 million used in proton therapy. Also, at the beam’s radiation level, it was approximately 2,000 to 3,000 grays, the unit that it’s measured in.
Essentially, exposure to over five grays will result in death. But, that wasn’t the case after Burgoski’s accident.
The Injury Did Not Turn Out To Be Fatal
The beam’s path was thin, and its aim was on point. Shockingly, the radiation had no impact on any of the surrounding organs of Burgoski.
