Introduction to Radiation
Gamma decay takes place when there is residual energy in the nucleus following alpha or beta decay, or after neutron capture (a type of nuclear reaction) in a nuclear reactor. The residual energy is released as a photon of gamma radiation. Gamma decay generally does …

hps.orggamma rays: Gamma rays are high‐energy electromagnetic radiation (photons) emitted in an attempt by the radionuclide to become stable, i.e., radioactive decay. Gamma rays have moderate‐to‐high penetrating power, are often able to penetrate deep into the body, and generally require some form of shielding, such as lead or concrete.
