10 places on Earth with radiation levels going wild. Three of them - in Russian
In one way or another we are exposed to radiation on a daily basis. However, some places on the planet, characterized by high concentration of radiation is still excluded from the tourist marshrutov.Sayt recommends to take note of 10 seats with the highest levels of radiation in the world.
1. Combine "Mayak" (Muslumovo, Russia) h3> In 1948 Muslumovo (in the Chelyabinsk region) was built by the company for reprocessing. Technology and waste discharge at the time was not, and in the end turned out to be contaminated the whole river system, and the house, close to the combine, suffered a serious exposure.
2. Residential flat (Kramatorsk, Ukraine) h3> In 1989, in the concrete wall of an apartment building in Kramatorsk was found a capsule containing a radioactive substance - Cesium-137. Capsule gave such strong radiation that presumably led to the death of 6 people and seriously affected the health of 17 others.
3. Fort d'Obervile (Paris, France) h3> As a result, checks the level of radioactivity was found that this area of Paris is seriously polluted. In the 1930s. in the area of the former fortifications of the city were conducted studies of radioactive materials. More than 60 barrels stored here showed positive results when testing for cesium-137 and radium-226. "Volume" site of infection is 60 cubic meters.
4. Laboratory NASA «Santa Susanna" (California, USA) h3> Simi Valley Valley - house laboratory NASA «Santa Susanna": over the past decade there have been several accidents and fires nuclear reactors. Currently it is developing a project to cleanse the area.
5. In the midst of the sea (Mediterranean) h3> It is believed that the syndicate controlled by the Italian mafia, using the Mediterranean as the site for the dumping of radioactive waste. It is assumed that the ships passing through the sea, is run huge amounts of nuclear waste into the water.
6. Production Association "Mayak" (Lighthouse, Russia) h3> For decades, the lighthouse was a huge nuclear plant. In 1957 here there was a failure: in the explosion about 100 tons of radioactive materials were released into the environment - in the hundreds of square kilometers. The area exposed to infection, called "East-Ural radioactive trace».
7. Siberian Chemical Plant (Tomsk, Russia) h3> How Lighthouse, this plant is one of the largest chemical companies in the world. Siberian Chemical Combine, according to rough estimates, it produced about 125 thousand tons of solid waste, contaminating groundwater. Also, studies show that wind and rain contribute to the spread of contamination and infection of wild animals, provoking a high mortality rate.
8. Semipalatinsk Test Site (Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan) h3> Polygon in Kazakhstan is most famous for its atomic bomb project. In this desert place in the distant steppes of the Soviet Union tested its first nuclear bomb. Now, this place holds the record for the number of nuclear explosions per unit area. The number of residents of adjacent areas affected by radiation, is about 200 thousand people.
9. A nuclear reactor at Chernobyl (Ukraine) h3> Chernobyl became known throughout the world for one of the worst nuclear accident in history. Over the years, the radiation affected by about 6 million people and the number of deaths caused by radioactive contamination, according to the forecast still range from 4 million to 93 million. The amount of emissions of radioactive substances in Chernobyl to 100 times higher than those in Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
10. "Fukushima-2" (Japan) h3> The effect of what happened at the Fukushima earthquake is considered to be the longest in the world of the nuclear danger. The worst since Chernobyl accident resulted in damage to three reactors, and as a result, a significant leakage of radiation that spread to a distance of 320 km from the plant.

The area exposed to infection, called "East-Ural radioactive trace».
However, the fact of the explosion became known only in 1980. In addition, if it turned out that since the '50s adjacent territory, including Lake Karachai, was used as a radioactive waste dump. This has led to a deterioration in the health of more than 40 thousand people.
