===Meaning===

===About Radioactive Contamination===
: '''Radioactive contamination''' is extremely dangerous as it can cause [[object]]s which were not [[radioactive]] to become [[radioactive]].
: '''Radioactive contamination''' is not visible to the [[eye]] and can only be detected with a [[Geiger Counter|Geiger counter]].
: The chance of '''radioactive contamination''' can be reduced by:
:*Wearing [[Safety Gloves]] - To reduce the chance of [[Radioactive Contamination|contamination]] of the [[skin]].
*Using [[Tongs]] to handle the source - To keep a distance from the [[radioactive]] source reducing the chance of [[Radioactive Contamination|contamination]].
