Radioactive ore.

When Hardmode is activated, it starts spreading in the underground, eating at stone (and variants).

Can be made into Radioactive Bars at a Adamantite/Titanium forge.

Radioactive Ore and Bars are a mixture of greens, and Radioactive Ore randomly makes a shine, similar to other ores, but it is a lime color.

Radioactive Bars can be made into the Radioactive set. There are two headpieces: the Helmet (which looks like a warrior's helmet, like the Palladium helmet) and the Growth (which makes green strings appear out of a stone block replacing the hair). The other pieces are the Chestplate and the Boots. Total Defense: 34 (Helmet) 29 (Growth). Set Bonus: +45% ranged damage, inflict Poison on melee attacks (Helmet) -30% mana usage, +5% summoning damage (Growth).

You can also make a Sword, Spear, Pickaxe, Drill, Axe, Chainsaw, and Repeater.

Radioactive Bars can also make a Analyzing Sphere, used to craft the Radar Blaster that summons King Radar Bat.
