10 of the most radioactive places on the planet
Bashny.Net
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 routes. < Website recommends to take note of: 10 places with the highest level of radiation in the world
.
1. Combine "Mayak" (Muslyumovo, Russia) in 1948 in Muslyumovo (in Chelyabinsk Region) processing plant was built nuclear fuel. Technology dumping and waste management at the time did not have, and in the end turned out to be infected with the whole river system, and the house, close to the combine, suffered a serious exposure.
2. Residential flat (Kramatorsk, Ukraine) In 1989, a capsule containing radioactive material was discovered in the concrete wall of an apartment house in Kramatorsk - Cesium-137. Capsule gave such strong radiation that allegedly led to the death of 6 people and seriously affected the health of 17 others.
3. Fort d'Obervile (Paris, France) As a result of the level of radioactivity checks proved that the area of Paris is seriously polluted. In 1930-ies. 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 tested on the content of cesium-137 and radium-226. "The amount of" infected area is 60 cubic meters.
4. NASA Laboratory "Santa Susanna" (California, USA) Simi Valley Valley - NASA laboratory house "Santa Susanna": over the past decade there have been several accidents and fires nuclear reactors. Currently developing a project to rid the area.
5. In the midst of the sea (Mediterranean) It is believed that the syndicate, controlled by the Italian mafia, uses the Mediterranean Sea as the site for the dumping of radioactive waste. It is assumed that the ships passing through the sea, drained huge amounts of nuclear waste in the water.
6. Production Association "Lighthouse" (Mayak, Russian) For decades, the lighthouse was a huge nuclear plant. In 1957 here there was a failure: the explosion of about 100 tons of radioactive materials were released into the environment - to hundreds of square kilometers. 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.
7. Siberian Chemical Plant (Tomsk region, Russia) As 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) Polygon in Kazakhstan is most famous for its atomic bomb project. In this desert place in the remote 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 inhabitants of adjacent areas affected by radiation is about 200 thousand people.
9. The nuclear reactor at Chernobyl (Ukraine) Chernobyl became known worldwide thanks to one of the worst nuclear accident in history. Over the years, the radiation affected by approximately 6 million people, and the number of deaths caused by radioactive contamination, according to the forecast still be from 4 thousand to 93 thousand. The amount of emissions of radioactive substances in Chernobyl to 100 times higher than those in Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
10. NPP "Fukushima-2" (Japan) The effect of the incident at the Fukushima earthquake is considered the longest in the world of nuclear danger. The worst since Chernobyl accident resulted in damage to the three reactors and, as a consequence, a significant leakage of radiation that has spread to a distance of 320 km from the plant.
