evacuation zone


Explanation:
"Roads in the evacuation zone somewhat remind of roads to deserted military grounds: quite good surface and no traffic. "

agree  Nik-On/Off: Мне этот вариант нравится. Но я вот думаю, не может ли "evacuation zone" подразумевать еще и зону, предназначанную для эвакуации (в будущем), в отличае от моего варианта "evacuated"?

  -> Спасибо! Я специально привёл пример, хотя, по-логике правильно было бы сказать в прошедшем времени "evacuated"

Explanation:

Chernobyl, ***dead zone*** - The Zone is a radioactive area centered on Chernobyl and Pripyat of some 1,000 square miles from which 135,000 people were evacuated in 1986-87.

Our camera crew traveling to Chernobyl 30 km zone, known as ***“dead zone”***.

I travel a lot and one of my favorite destinations leads ...towards the so called Chernobyl "dead zone"...

=======
Mycio, an American foreign correspondent in the area and a biologist, was one of the first people to begin cataloguing nature's unlikely comeback in Chernobyl and has made 24 different trips to the ***dead zone***.

=======
More than 3,000 visitors go to the site every year, and
hundreds more explore the abandoned villages in the 20-mile evacuated ***"dead zone."***

contaminated territories/zones


Explanation:
Here is what one of the official English Chernobyl sites calls this area:

The contaminated territories lie in the north of Ukraine, the south and east of Belarus and in the western border area between Russia and Belarus (1.2). International estimates suggest that a total of between 125 000 and 146 000 km2 in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine are contaminated with caesium-137 at levels exceeding 1 curie (Ci) or 3.7 x 1010 becquerel (Bq) per square kilometre (5.1). This is an area greater than that of the neighbouring countries of Latvia and Lithuania combined. At the time of the accident, about 7 million people lived in the contaminated territories, including 3 million children. About 350 400 people were resettled or left these areas. However, about 5.5 million people, including more than a million children, continue to live in the contaminated zones (2.2; 4.1; 4.2).

This following site uses the term "contaminated areas".

http://www.chernobyl.co.uk/

I believe "contaminated" is the adjective we usually use in this context and then we describe that people had to be resettled.

vacated area


Explanation:
Tons of references in the emergency context, plus "evacuation" or "restricted" does not indicate that it has already been cleared of everyone.


http://www.pp.okstate.edu/ehs/manuals/Gas_plan.htm

Barriers shall remain intact and any area vacated due to the incident shall remain vacated until repairs and any required tests are completed before restoring all systems back to normal operating conditions
