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]]'') Although this is not the case for humans, as they can be rendered sterile if a [[lead]] apron is not given to them. | 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.

Other species could absorb and regenerate with it, such as the [[Kastrian]]s ([[TV]]: ''[[The Hand of Fear (TV story)|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]]'') Following the Daleks' defeat by the [[First Doctor]] and his companions, the incubation level of their city was automatically sealed off with the [[Dalek Supreme (Return to Skaro)|Dalek Supreme]] and the gestating embryos being placed in suspended animation. As a result of the decades that they spent in the radiation free environment, the Daleks overcame their dependance on it. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Return to Skaro (audio story)|Return to Skaro]]'') | ||

Nevertheless, radiation could still prove harmful to the Daleks. When "[[Rusty (Into the Dalek)|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.

The [[Cyberman | The [[Cyberman|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.
