: In essence, all radioactivity is the emission of a particle of some sort or another. Any photons or electromagnetic waves (depending on how you want to think about it) is the result of an antiparticle annihilating.

: It is also important to to confuse radiation with radioactivity. The two are separate and distinct concepts. --[[User:Rutm|Rutm]] 18:03, 8 July 2008 (EDT)

I dont think it is the release of particles actually. Is it not matter(particles) converted into energy via E=MC2? The radioactive element Radium for example releases small amounts of radiation by releasing the energy contained within its mass.
