Radiation No-Go Zone

The Radiation No-Go Zone (RNZ) is an area of London contaminated by radioactive cobalt, following the Triple Nine terrorist attack in 2009. The RNZ covers an area of just under a square mile, the majority of which is located in Hyde Park, where the wind at the time blew most of the cobalt fallout, rendering most of the park along with several residential and retail areas in Belgravia and Knightsbridge uninhabitable. The RNZ is centred around Knightsbridge Tube station, ground zero for the bombing, and is strictly enforced to keep the public away from the radioactive contaminants. It is provisionally estimated it will be twenty years after the bombing before the region is safe enough to reoccupy.
