Contamination (Nuclear Weapon)
Contamination (Nuclear Weapon) :
"The deposit of radioactive material on the surfaces of structures, areas, objects, or personnel, following a nuclear (or atomic) explosion. This material generally consists of fallout in which fission products and other weapon debris have become incorporated with particles of dirt, etc. Contamination can also arise from the radioactivity induced in certain substances by the action of neutrons from a nuclear explosion". (Glasstone, The Effects of Nuclear Weapons, 3rd Ed., 1977, Glossary, p. 631)
