Or better yet, Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky brothers which the film was based on.

But this doesn't have anything to do with radiation

Not directly, and neither does the film, but the entire 'Zone' trope was popularised in Roadside Picnic almost 15 years before the Chernobyl disaster.

It does and does not have to do with radiation with the same relationship that post-WWII Japanese media features.

Sometimes it's more interesting to write a story about the effects and meaning of a thing, rather than the thing itself.
