Zone of Alienation

The Zone of Alienation is an area designated around nuclear power plants where access is restricted due to potential radiation hazards. It’s a safety buffer to protect people and the environment from harmful radiation in case of accidents or waste release. The zone typically includes the immediate vicinity of the plant and often extends outward, with access controlled and monitored. People living or working nearby are aware of this zone, and it helps ensure safety and containment during emergencies or routine operations.
