§ 60-513a Ionizing radiation defined.

This rule gives a simple definition to use elsewhere in Kansas civil law. It explains what counts as "ionizing radiation" when that term comes up in other legal rules, especially ones dealing with injury claims caused by radiation exposure.

The definition is broad. It covers any type of radiation, whether it's made up of particles or electromagnetic waves, as long as it can create ions when it passes through matter. This includes things like X-rays, gamma rays, and radiation from nuclear materials.

This rule doesn't create any rights or deadlines by itself. Instead, it sets the meaning of a key term that other Kansas laws rely on, particularly rules about how long someone has to file a lawsuit for harm caused by radiation exposure.
