High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Radiation damage is a term associated with ionizing radiation. This radiation may take several forms: * Cosmic rays and subsequent energetic particles caused by their collision with the atmosphere and other materials. * Radioactive daughter products (Radioisotopes) caused by the collision of cosmic rays with the atmosphere and other materials, including living tissues. * Streams of energetic particles from a particle accelerator. * Energetic particles or gamma radiation (X rays) released from collisions of such particles with a target, as in an X ray machine or incidentally in the use of a particle accelerator. * Particles or various types of rays released by radioactive decay of elements, which may be naturally occurring, created by accelerator collisions, or created in a nuclear reactor and extracted for therapeutic or industrial use and released accidentally, or released sententially by a dirty bomb, or accidentally by nuclear accident, or released into the atmosphere, ground, or ocean incidental to the explosion of a nuclear weapon for warfare or nuclear testing.
