The X-7b "Boom Town" target zone is a location in the east of the Big MT in 2281.

Layout[]

Boom Town is a mock settlement set up for the express purpose of testing the performance of Saturnite artillery shells. It is paired with the X-7a "Left Field" artillery launch facility. The entire area is irradiated as a side effect of weapons testing, with craters full of green radioactive material.

Behind the scenes[]

In the real world, a site nicknamed "Survival Town" was used to test the Apple-2 nuclear bomb at the Nevada Test Site on May 5, 1955. An assortment of buildings including residential houses were populated with mannequins and stocked with different types of canned and packaged foods to study the weapon's impact upon the structures and items.
