Is it true that ionizing radiation causes mutations in DNA?
Yes. The National Cancer Institute glossary states directly that ionizing radiation damages DNA, and multiple peer-reviewed studies confirm ionizing radiation induces DNA double-strand breaks and other DNA lesions in various experimental systems.
