Description

 * Above background level areas of radioactive contamination blight the Zone and are a hazard that the player must deal with.
 * Metallic objects are frequently emitters of quite inimical levels of Radiation.
 * Visitors should carry a functional detector at all times in order to avoid these areas or be aware that mitigation procedures will be necessary.
 * Unlike other anomalies, areas of increased radioactivity are not detected with the naked eye until the character comes under their influence. But when using night vision devices, you can notice fluctuations in air, such as those inherent in Burner anomalies.

Trivia

 * The various Mutants are, of course, immune to the depredations of the Radiation.
