I don’t understand how nuclear radiation affects a geographical area to the point where it’s dangerous for a human to be there for extended periods of time.

Radiation can be imagined as tiny bullets that are constantly being fired off from tiny bits of radioactive materials.
These materials remain active for a very long time and they’re constantly firing off their tiny bullets.
These bullets are incredibly tiny, but they tear through organic flesh at a cellular level, killing those cells.
The biggest problem is that we can ingest and breathe in these tiny bits of radioactive material. So these bits get lodged in our bodies and then our bodies are just blasted by the constant stream of tiny bullets.
