God! An idiot's triggered a nuclear hazard (9)
I believe the answer is:
radiation
'hazard' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both types of natural phenomena as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'god an idiot's triggered a nuclear' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'god' could be 'ra' (Egyptian god) and 'ra' is located in the answer.
'an' could be 'i' (Roman numeral for one) and 'i' is located in the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
'nuclear' could be 'n' (abbreviation) and 'n' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for radiation that I've seen before include "given out with mobile phones?" , "Transmission of energy" , "Harmful waves" , "Nuclear emissions" , "Energy emitted by eg the sun" .)
