radiological weapon

Radiological warfare is any form of warfare involving deliberate radiation poisoning or contamination of an area with radioisotopes, but without the use of nuclear weapons. While radiological weapons were researched and in some cases tested during the Cold War, there is no evidence any military has ever deployed operational radiological weapons, although they have been used for assassination.
