Radiation

Radiation has a disrupting effect on technological items. Low-level radiation typically has no effect on technological items, but higher levels of radiation impose the glitching condition on technological equipment. This effect typically lasts until the item is removed from the source of radiation. Technological items exposed to particularly powerful radiation stop working entirely until they're removed from the source of radiation and permanently gain the glitching condition until they're repaired.

Radiation sickness is a disease that damages a creature's body at a cellular level, causing sickness and even death. Radiation sickness is often grouped into four broad categories: mild, severe, extreme, and incredible. The effects of these categories of radiation sickness are described in Diseases, though other types of radiation sickness are known to exist.
