I am working in a plant where there is radiation. i am working nearby but i don't stay long. could it affect my fertility?

Yes, and worse: Radiation has cumulative effects. Even a little bit of exposure adds to the total. It can cause infertility and cancer, and other problems. Wear a radiation detector badge and protect yourself.
