Can you be more specific on the type?

very broad category, based on the effects

Can you be more specific on the type? Ionizing radiation is a very broad category, based on the effects of the radiation rather than the source.

"Ionizing (or ionising) radiation is radiation composed of particles that individually carry enough kinetic energy to liberate an electron from an atom or molecule, ionizing it...."

Response from J: Go has a term for ioning radiation (GO:0010212, response to ionizing radiation), with the following definition: Ionizing radiation is radiation with sufficient energy to remove electrons from atoms and may arise from spontaneous decay of unstable isotopes, resulting in alpha and beta particles and gamma rays. Ionizing radiation also includes X-rays.

Would utilization of this definition be helpful?

Term was requested for the Plant Phenotype Pilot Project, but at this time, we cannot add this to the EO as the definition of ionizing radiation is too broad. Several types of radiation can be ionizing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionizing\_radiation).
