What is net radiation instrument?
Is a device use to measure the radiation effect of the sun.
What types of sensor used in smoke alarm?
some use a photocell looking for a light source thru the air some use a nuclear source of ionizing radiation to ionize the air then measure its conductivity
What type of radiation do nuclear weapons emit?

What are the uses of nuclear radiation?
Nuclear Warfare to kill people, according to the first answer to this question. Nuclear medicine is the use of radiation to treat or cure disease. It is often used in cancer treatments. Nuclear imaging is the use of radiation to create images, for example, to follow pattern of blood flow in internal organs. Radiography uses radiation (x-rays) to create an image that contrasts dense areas of a body with softer areas, for example, in dentistry or orthopedics. Nuclear radiation is used to make batteries for spacecraft. Nuclear radiation is used in ionizing smoke detectors. Nuclear radiation creates much of the heat inside the earth. Without it the core would solidify and earth would not be habitable. Naturally occurring nuclear radiation is used to locate fault lines and to place dates on volcanic eruption. Nuclear radiation produces about 10% of the world's electricity. Radiation was used for peaceful purposes many years before it was used for bombs. Most uses of radiation are peaceful and productive.
What does Yucca Mountain have to do with nuclear radiation?
people are planning to store nuclear radiation there.
How radiation affected by surface temperature?
Nuclear radiation is not affected at all, but radiation by Electromagnetic Radiation is. This is a straight Physics topic, not Nuclear Energy.
