What causes a fish kill and how can I prevent it?

However, many fish kills can be anticipated, and measures taken to prevent them. During winter, the oxygen supply under the ice depends upon the passage of light and the production of oxygen by tiny plants in the water.

How does the radiation kill the cancer cells?

Bard Urological
The radiation does not actually kill the cancer cells outright, but causes damage to the genetic material (DNA) within the cells. If the treated cancer cells were biopsied and viewed through a microscope, they would appear alive and active. The destruction occurs when these injured cells attempt to reproduce by the process of mitosis (cell division). They self-destruct, die, and are eliminated by the normal body mechanism that eliminates dead cells.
