"Nuclear contamination" refers to the presence or spread of dangerous radioactive substances in the environment. It happens when nuclear materials, used in power generation, accidents, or nuclear weapon testing, leak or release harmful radiation into the surroundings. This contamination can be harmful to living organisms and can cause negative health effects if exposed to it for a prolonged period.
