In nuclear reactions, energy is usually released. This energy is released as an electromagnetic wave. Because of the large amount of energy involved, this wave has a high frequency/energy - a gamma ray.

How does Ionization of atoms in the Field of a Strong Electromagnetic Wave take place?

When an atom is exposed to a strong electromagnetic wave, the electric field of the wave can distort the electron cloud around the nucleus, leading to the ionization of the atom. If the electromagnetic wave is strong enough, it can overcome the attractive forces between the electron and the nucleus, causing the electron to be ejected from the atom, thus creating an ion.
