skos:definition "The 'process' of inducing 'radioactivity'.<br/>
Most commonly used to refer to the induction of 'radioactivity' in moderators, <br/>coolants, and structural and shielding materials, caused by irradiation with <br/>neutrons.<br/>The BSS definition — “The production of radionuclides by irradiation.” [1] — <br/>is technically adequate; however, the term ‘production’ gives a connotation <br/>that this is being done intentionally rather than, as is normally the case, <br/>incidentally.<br/>
<b>!</b> Care may be needed to avoid confusion when using the term 'activation' in its <br/>
everyday sense of bringing into action (e.g. of 'safety systems', for which <br/>‘actuation’ may be used).<br/>" (en)
