blast zone

Detonation danger radius

A blast zone is the area affected by an explosion, where destruction or damage occurs.

The term applies to bomb detonations, volcanic eruptions, and controlled demolitions: Residents within the blast zone were evacuated.

Figuratively, it describes any area of intense impact or chaos: The kitchen was a blast zone after the kids made breakfast.
