Radiation

A lot of the corporations used small nuclear reactors to power
their facilities, back before the 4th Corporate War—so there
are still quite a surprising number of hot zones out there!

Low Level Radiation

Exposure won't kill you immediately. But, it will make you sick
over time, and then kill you, eventually, probably with cancer.

High Level Radiation

Immediately dangerous. Each time you end your turn in a hot
zone, you are treated as being "mildly on fire"—except these
flames can't be extinguished while you remain in the hot zone.
In an extremely hot zone—like inside a leaking reactor—the
intensity of the "fire" is considered to be deadly instead.
