Crater of Atom

Crater of Atom is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4. 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.

Layout
The Crater of Atom hosts humans from the Church of the Children of Atom, who treat the location as a holy site and seem inexplicably immune to its harmful 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 are a metal shack and some wooden cabins and structures, presumably built by the Children of Atom. A yellowish-green radioactive aurora glows above the crater at all times and is visible from across the Commonwealth, especially at night.
