Morphology
The noun phrase meaning is directly compositional: 'radiation' (energy emitted as rays/waves) combined with 'field' (a region or space) yields a region in which radiation is present and propagates. This follows standard English noun-noun composition and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Radiation field paints a picture of radiation, or energy and light, spreading out across a field, an open area, like ripples from a stone in water, so it means the 'area where that energy moves'.
