The subset of the spectrum of a ring where the localization at a prime ideal is reduced. Since the nilradical commutes with localization, its complement is the support of a module N=Nil(R). When N is a finitely generated module, vanishing of a finitely generated module near a prime gives
R=SpecR∖V(AnnR​(N)),
(1)
so the locus is a Zariski-open subset. In particular this holds for every Noetherian ring.
