In now a day the possibility of radiation exposure has been increased by many percent. In this era of advance civilization the requirement of energy is very important and to solve that problem many countries have established Nuclear power plants to generate electricity. In a nuclear power station the electricity is produced by creating the nuclear reaction in the reactors and produce energy but this process is very dangerous and even high professionals can miss out anything which can lead to a disaster.
