I dont take anything that was made by Bethesda as fact nor part of the Fallout canon to say it that way. Particularly when its dealing with the technical side of the gameplay/world.
Dont forget. In Bethesdas world there is no thing like SCIENCE!. Just "fun fun fun!".
Maybe they took their time to do some research about the technical aspects of the Fallout science and world. But I doubt it. That are details which cost money and time particularly when youre not used with a franchise or dont see even much reason for those details as I think that they would never go with something that might "hurt" the fun in their eyes (and I doubt most of the people in Bethesdas office have been used with Fallouts loore or science, for sure not like Fallouts old devs, which is not a try to blame them its just natural its a simple fact that they have not created the franchise and thus cant know it that well like those who created it of course. Or simply like Ausir who spents most of his life on the Fallout wiki).
