The Glow

West Tek Research Facility was a high-tech weapons-research facility where the Forced Evolutionary Virus was originally developed. During the war, a nuke directly hit the facility, shattering the FEV containment tanks and releasing the radiated virus into the atmosphere. Due to its high radiation, it came to be known as The Glow. The Brotherhood of Steel sends people whom they don't want here on "quests" and laugh about it later when they end up dead because of the high amount of radiation in the area. It was quite a surprise to them when one known as the Vault Dweller actually fulfilled the quest.

Appearances in games
The West Tek Research Facility appeared only in the first Fallout game.
