XNuclear Radiation Particulate and electromagnetic radiation emitted from atomic nuclei in various 3 e' K$ \0 h9 `: Vnuclear processes. The important nuclear radiations, from the weapons standpoint, are alpha and beta particles, gamma rays, and neutrons. All nuclear 2 t& G3 F, @: D7 b7 Nradiations are ionizing radiations, but the reverse is not true; x-rays, for example, are included among ionizing radiations, but they are not nuclear radiations since they do not originate from atomic nuclei. (See Ionizing Radiation and X-Rays.)
