The type of radiation commonly used to generate electric power, kill cancer cells, and in various manufacturing processes is ionizing radiation. This includes gamma rays, X-rays, and high-energy particles, which have enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, potentially causing damage to cellular structures. In cancer treatment, specifically, radiation therapy utilizes this property to target and destroy malignant cells. Additionally, ionizing radiation is employed in industrial applications such as sterilization and material inspection.
