Radiation is energy sometimes produced by materials and sometimes by physical interactions, such as the contact of matter with anti-matter.

Biological effects

Radiation is often harmful or fatal to most life and can cause mutations. Some organisms can withstand large amounts of radiation, such as the Foamasi (DW: The Leisure Hive), while others can actually absorb and regenerate with it, such as the Kastrians (DW: The Hand of Fear) or beings such as the Daleks on Skaro, whose evolution led (at various points) to them becoming dependent on a constant supply of radiation. (DW: The Daleks) Similarly an Exxilon fuel pod was left in ancient Earth Incan civilisation causing mutations in the populous and leading to Huitzilin gaining massive powers.
