Radiological.

Explanation:

Radiological disaster falls under the purview of man-made disasters. They are caused due to human activities and negligence such as leakage of toxic chemicals, explosions, wars and conflicts, pollution, etc. During nuclear blast, the emergency disaster response team will classify such disaster as radiological and will respond according to the need of the situation as radioactive elements are very dangerous. Radiological disasters are hazardous and may result in large scale destruction and chaos.
