• The term 'radiation' can refer to a wide
variety of forms of energy moving
around as waves or particles. It can
mean x-rays, or it can mean
microwaves. It can also refer to infrared
light and even visible light. But when we

being more specific. Radioactive
Contamination refers to the release of
ionizing radiation into the environment
as a result of human activity.
