The radiation resulting from the explosion of a [[Jagaroth ship]] in the [[distant past]] of [[Earth]] triggered the beginning of life from a nearby pool of [[primordial soup]].

Radiation was often harmful or fatal to most life and could cause [[mutation]]s. In many life forms, it induced [[radiation sickness]], including Gallifreyans. ([[TV]]: "[[The Survivors (episode)|The Survivors]]", ''[[Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)|Destiny of the Daleks | Radiation was often harmful or fatal to most life and could cause [[mutation]]s.

Some organisms could withstand large amounts of radiation, such as the [[Foamasi]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Leisure Hive]]'') | Nonetheless, [[Time Lord]]s could absorb, withstand and expel great doses of certain types of radiation; the [[Tenth Doctor]] said he used to play with roentgen bricks in the nursery. ([[TV]]: ''[[Smith and Jones (TV story)|Smith and Jones]]'') | ||
Others could absorb and regenerate with it, such as the [[Kastrian]]s ([[TV]]: ''[[The Hand of Fear]]'') and the [[Dalek]]s on [[Skaro]], whose evolution led to them becoming dependent on a constant supply of radiation. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks (TV story)|The Daleks]]'') | |||
Nevertheless, radiation could still prove harmful to the Daleks. When "[[Rusty]]" was damaged, a crack in his power supply began leaking trionic radiation that began killing him and affected his mind, turning him into a "good Dalek." When the [[Twelfth Doctor]] stopped the radiation leak, Rusty immediately returned to normal. ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'') | |||

An [[Exxilon (species)|Exxilon]] fuel pod was left in ancient [[Earth]] [[Inca]]n civilisation, causing mutations in the populace and leading to [[Huitzilin]] gaining great powers. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Left-Handed Hummingbird (novel)|The Left-Handed Hummingbird]]'') | |||
The [[Solonian]]s used [[thaesium]] radiation to cause the "mutations" that were part of their life cycle. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mutants (TV story)|The Mutants]]'') | |||

The [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]] showed a weakness to radiation, which [[Ben Jackson]] and the team at the base [[Snowcap]] used to their advantage when the Cybermen invaded Earth in [[1986]]. The radiation in the chamber of the [[Z-Bomb]] instantly affected them so they could not ensure the bomb was dismantled before their home [[planet]] [[Mondas]] was destroyed.

On the [[planet]] [[Janus Prime]], radiation made the sand glow blue. It also destroyed a [[human]] body's lipids, making skin sticky to the touch and changing to a jelly-like texture. Upon death, the body lost cohesion and collapsed into a porridge-like substance. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Janus Conjunction]]'') | On the [[planet]] [[Janus Prime]], radiation made the sand glow blue.

On [[Dulkis]], the [[Dulcian]]s irradiated an island to see the effects.

[[Skaro]]'s atmosphere was polluted because of the fallout consequent the [[neutronic war]], enough to affect the [[First Doctor]] and [[Susan Foreman]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks]]'') [[Romana II]] and the [[Fourth Doctor]] suffered from radiation on Skaro. Romana, to escape the Daleks, faked dying from radiation.

The [[Sixth Doctor]] noticed a suspicious presence of radiation near the planet [[Lakertya]] and avoided it. However, his future self sent a psychic signal to him to go there despite the unknown danger, setting in motion a plan to stop [[the Valeyard]] and free himself from the influence of the [[Nathemus]] through his own demise. He regenerated due to the radiation exposure, which was actually being released from [[tractor beam|several beams]] fired on the TARDIS by [[the Rani]]- a kind not lethal to humans, only causing his then-companion [[Melanie Bush]] to pass out, but indeed lethal to Time Lords, resulting in his death.

The ruins of [[Klimtenburg]]'s [[church]] became irradiated after a [[Cyber Ship]] crashed into it and the housing of the reactor shattered.
