Right now, there are over 400 nuclear power plants operating in 20 countries. Could they be ticking time bombs? Possibly rendering their areas uninhabitable as a result of a nuclear explosion? What if all of these power plants exploded at the same time? Life would become a daily struggle for survival, all while being stalked by an invisible predator. Radiation. The Earth would be one giant exclusion zone, a highly radioactive realm filled with danger and contamination, that we are forbidden to enter. How would you survive in the exclusion zone, formerly known as the planet Earth? And could this really happen?
