What colors and message are associated with a sign for nuclear hazards?

The choice of white and black colors associated with nuclear hazards typically represents the symbol for radiation, specifically the three-bladed propeller design which warns of radioactive materials. This color scheme is recognized internationally and is vital for indicating and communicating potential danger in environments where nuclear materials are handled or stored. The use of black and white helps in maximizing visibility and contrast, ensuring that the warnings are clear to anyone in the vicinity.

In contrast, other color combinations indicate different types of hazards, such as biohazard or caution without the specific recognition of radiation hazards, which is why the colors and message for nuclear hazards stand out as unique.
