-> Not entirely true. Hard radiation produced during fusion (which gives out all

-> only produces energy in the form of light/electromagnetic waves, but that
-> includes dangerous wavelengths.

 Gee I must have missed something in my Nuclear Physics class. I don't
rembember Gamma Rays as having the capability to make substiances
Radioactive. 


Please refresh me with a reference as it has been some 48 years since I
took that course in the US Navy's Nuclear Power School.
