Radiation is a kind of pollution produced by overheated Nuclear Reactors (Nuclear Meltdown) or the open storage of spent radioactive fuel. Radiation can be avoided by properly storing spent fuel in a functioning Radioactive Waste Storage or reprocessing it. A nuclear meltdown, and subsequent radiation release, can be avoided by preventing reactor heat from maxing out which is usually caused by a overflow of Steam (High) or Steam (Super) and lack of cooling water.

Radiation will apply a large negative modifier to a settlement's Growth, potentially overcoming any positives (such as from Growth Boost Edicts) leading to the instant death of citizens.
