There is a difference between "radiation" and "contamination"
Radiation can be of different forms such as beta's, gamma's, etc. This is what is typically considered when this term is used.
Contamination is essentially when dust sized items that are radioactive are on your skin or ingested. This is very dangerous.
Keeping it at its simplest, a nucleus that is not in a stable state (i.e. has excess energy) releases some or all of that excess energy as radiation so as to achieve a more stable state.
Gamma rays are a type of radiation. Nuclear medicine techniques work through the detection of this kind of radiation injected into the body by adding a radioisotope to a certain drug.
Gamma radiation is the smallest, because they have no mass.
X-rays are not a type of nuclear radiation. They are a type of electromagnetic radiation.

Nuclear engineers work in labs working with radiation and sometimes even actual nuclear product. They learn how to work around problems and discover new ways radiation can be helpful or harmful to the human body.
Radiologists work with these.
There are no immediate signed of nuclear radiation.
Nuclear weapons emit nuclear radiation, with gamma radiation being the most common and dangerous.
Gamma rays are a type of radiation. Nuclear medicine techniques work through the detection of this kind of radiation injected into the body by adding a radioisotope to a certain drug.
Radiographers and radiologists, and scientists.
All sorts of nuclear radiation are dangerous. To use nuclear power safely the radiation in the reactor core must not be allowed to escape. Provided this is achieved, it is a safe industry. The health records of those who work on nuclear sites proves this.
people are planning to store nuclear radiation there.
Nuclear radiation is not affected at all, but radiation by Electromagnetic Radiation is. This is a straight Physics topic, not Nuclear Energy.
Radiation is a consequence of nuclear energy. In fact, without the radiation of a large neutron flux, nuclear energy would not exist.
Yes, the decay of unstable atomic nuclei is the source of nuclear radiation.
fallout emits nuclear radiation, but lots of other things do too.fallout is particulates from dust size to baseball size, nuclear radiation is a mix of electromagnetic radiation and high speed subatomic particles.
