Radioactive Irradiation and Contamination explanation

** IMPORTANT CORRECTION: A learnéd friend has pointed out that when a very large level of neutrons irradiate they cause materials to become radioactive. For example, in a nuclear reactor surplus neutrons make the reactor vessels, concrete and surrounding infrastructure to become radioactive **

A short video on Radioactive Irradiation and Contamination with practical explanations of the difference between the two. Can be used to illustrate part of GCSE Physics: 4.4.2.1 radioactive decay and nuclear radiation.
