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.

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.

Because of an ongoing nuclear war, [[Atrios]] was contaminated by radiation. Some areas, such as [[K-Block]], were more affected than others.

In one possible timeline, the [[Earth]], known as [[Orphan 55]], was radioactive due to the climate changes and [[nuclear war]] that had devastated the planet. [[Kane (Orphan 55)|Kane]] stated that the radiation levels had dropped enough by the time that the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] and [[Team TARDIS]] visited that it was safe to go outside on the planet's surface for short periods of time.
