There are two basic types of radiation: moving particles and electromagnetic rays. The nucleus of radioactive atoms may give off alpha and beta particles and neutrons. Electromagnetic emissions include gamma rays and X-rays. Gamma rays come from a radioactive nucleus; X-rays are more commonly produced by a machine. The particles, gamma rays and X-rays are all said to be ionising radiation.
