Crater of Atom

Crater of Atom is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287. A massive detonation crater southwest of Boston, it was ground zero for the high-yield nuclear explosion which devastated Massachusetts and created the Glowing Sea.

Background
Complete and utter desolation in all directions. A perpetual cloud of radiation haze that creates fierce and toxic storms. The area is fatal to most human beings but is home to deathclaws and radscorpions. This is the epicenter of a nuclear strike centered on what is known colloquially as the Crater of Atom.

Layout
The Crater of Atom is home to members of the Church of the Children of Atom, who treat the location as a holy site and seem inexplicably immune to its deadly radiation. The crater is the result of the huge nuclear explosion that the Sole Survivor sees seconds before descending into Vault 111 in 2077. Within the crater is a large, metal shack and some wooden cabins and structures that house the Children of Atom. There are three smaller huts along the ridgeline of the crater. A yellowish-green radioactive aura glows above the crater at all times and is visible from across the Commonwealth, especially at night.
