weapons that use energy from nuclear fission or fusion (such as atomic or hydrogen bombs) or radioactive materials (radiological agents) to cause massive destruction or contamination

Energy released by the splitting or fusion of atomic nuclei; also called [[核能|核能|he2 neng2]] or [[原子能|原子能|yuan2 zi3 neng2]]

Radioactive material, such as uranium, plutonium, or thorium, used in a nuclear reactor to produce energy through nuclear fission; also called [[核燃料|核燃料|he2 ran2 liao4]].

Taiwan term for the branch of medicine using radioactive isotopes for diagnosis and treatment; more commonly called [[核医学|核醫學|he2 yi1 xue2]] in mainland China

Process in which particles interact with an atomic nucleus to change its state or structure, such as nuclear fission or fusion, often releasing significant energy. Also called [[核反应|核反應|he2 fan3 ying4]].

device used to initiate and control a self-sustained nuclear chain reaction

A device used to initiate and control a nuclear fission or fusion reaction in order to generate energy.
