not sure what you mean here.
nuclear energy is energy that is produced by splitting or combining the nucleus of atoms. nuclear power plants, for example, produce energy in the form of electricity by, in general, the splitting (or fission) of atoms. There are pros and cons to mankind for using electricity produced in this process. Cheap, clean, efficient, nearly endless supply of electricity on the one hand, radioactive waste on the other.
The sun is another example of nuclear energy that effects us all. Hydrogen is fused to form helium and the effect is a release of heat and light. Which we need to survive.
What you probably mean is this..."what happens to a person who is exposed to high levels of radiation?"
Google radiation poisoning.
here's a couple of links
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_poisoning
http://www.iaea.org/NewsCenter/Focus/Chernobyl/index.html
the second one is a report written by the IAEA regarding the health effects of the Chernobyl diseaster. One the key effects is elevated thyroid cancers and hyperthyroidism.
here's a link that discusses the effects of the nuclear weapons used on Japan.

That depends. The light from the sun is produced by nuclear energy, and without it nothing on earth could live. So, nuclear energy can have a very good effect.
In case you did not know, the word whom is dying in the English language. I recommend that you learn to let it die. If you insist on reviving it, however, you should choose your battles better. Your usage of whom is not correct.

She gets all happy because she can afford to run the lights and her TV and her electric stove and AC and hairdryer and all the other superficial toys that please her (and doesn't have to feel guilty that she is making her country dependent on crazies in the middle east whom we have to beat up from time to time to keep them in their places and the oil coming).
That is how nuclear energy effects a person (at least in the west where we don't melt down our reactors). I don't think that anyone has ever been demonstrated to have been harmed by a western nuclear reactor. This counts 3-mile island, the closest to a problem we ever came. This doesn't count sailors who died in nuclear subs.
If you want to wallow in gloom, I guess you could check out some of the firefighters who arrived first at Chernobyl (all of whom died of intestinal trouble pretty rapidly). Many of those that got somewhat smaller doses fell to cancer over the years.

It's like The Hills Have Eyes. When you're affected, u can get really sick , weak or die. N if they make babies, they get all disgusting and grow extra fingers or deformed n such n they might even have two mouths or faces or many eyes. U can find lots of deformed people in yahoo or googole or such...

You might want to get your English skills in order before you go and write a book that won't get published because of extreme grammatic and spelling error.

Depends on amount of nuclear energy. If it's not that much, they loose hair. If dose is high, they feel sick and can dye

Either I'm just stupid, or I don't understand English anymore.
What does having an English book have to do with being affected by nulear energy??
