zračenje

zračenje

In nuclear energy jargon, "radiation" is often used as shorthand for "ionizing radiation": particles (alpha, beta, neutrons) or rays (gamma) emitted from the nucleus of an unstable radioactive atom as a result of radioactive decay. This jargon usage is factually incorrect and should be avoided in written text.
