The information regarding the delta rays in the mirror universe was removed with the edit note "t's never specified that the ISS NX-01's warp core is emitting delta radiation; it could be other previously-established warp drive radiation byproducts, like theta perhaps." However, this isn't true. In the episode, Tucker clearly states, while addressing Biggs, "Get the commander a radiation meter. You don't want to end up like me, do you? I've absorbed enough delta rays to guarantee my grandchildren glow in the dark." He then goes on to state, "They say for every year you spend next to one of these things, you lose a decade off your life expectancy. Which means I'll probably be dead by the end of the week." So it's fairly obvious he's talking about the warp core. ProfessorTofty (talk) 15:50, April 8, 2019 (UTC)
