Definition

The emission of radiation, either directly from unstable atomic nuclei or as a consequence of a nuclear reaction.

Description

Radioactive contamination is typically the result of a loss of control of radioactive materials during the production or use of radioisotopes. This includes nuclear fallout (the distribution of radioactive contamination by a nuclear explosion). Radiological weapons ('dirty bombs') use conventional explosives to scatter powdered radioactive material over the area around the bomb's explosion.
