These are the top most most dangerous radiation hot spots in the world from nuclear weapons testing to power plant explosions! \r

6. Fort DAubervilliers\r
Originally constructed as fortification to protect Paris from going under attack in 1846, its ually now one of the worlds most radioive places. Its here where some of the first tests on radioivity were conducted. Frederic and Irene Joliot-Curie both worked with salts of radium-226. People have noticed a large amount of cancer in the area especially in a school near the fort in 2002. High doses or radioive contamination appeared to be the only plausible explanation and a study in 2006 confirmed the radioivity. \r

5. McClure Radioive Site\r
A company looking to build some houses came across a startling discovery when surveying new land in Ontario Canada. The McClure site was contaminated with high amounts of radium from industrial use and a large amount of the soil as contaminated. They found out later that the plant in the area was put radioive scrap metal in the ground for experimental purposes. The researchers had wanted to see if the radioivity would somehow accelerate plant growth. The experiments were obviously unsuccessful but the area remains contaminated to this day. Some people have some crazy theories!\r

4. McGuire Air Force Base\r
During the Cold War, America was quite eager to have the best nuclear arms of any country in the world. The McGuire Air Force Base was seriously contaminated from weapons grade plutonium in 1960. Located just south of Trenton, this was home to Launch Shelter 204 that stored nuclear, intercontinental ballistic missiles. An unexpected explosion happened in a helium that caused a fire in the nuclear tipped BOMARC missile. The fire burned for about 15 minutes and was extinguished with water. This resulted in radioive material and water to flow throughout the air force base. Some pieces of debris were found a half mile from the explosion. It could have been much worse considering how close it is to populated areas. The contaminated area stretches an estimated 7 acres and its closed off with a barbed wire fence. So dont even think about coming here!\r

3. Mailuu-Suu\r
This place is one of the most polluted and radioive sites in the world. Located in Kyrgyzstan, its radiation is derived from the large amount of Uranium ore deposits. Mining operations from 1946 to 1968 left this place severely damaged. They managed to mine nearly 10,000 tons of uranium ore for the Soviet nuclear program. A landslide that took place in 1958 released 6000 cubic meters of material from this mine, leaving radioive particles all over the place. Theres more than 20000 times the amount of normal radiation at this location. When the mining operations ended, it left many people without jobs. Its believed that many settlers of this region, put themselves in danger and attempt to sell of the metal to scrap metal dealers.\r

2.Chernobyl Exclusion Zone \r
Chernobyl and Pripyat were both quickly evacuated after a horrific meltdown took place at the nuclear power plant Reor number 4 on April 26, 1986. People fled this area so quickly that they left many of their belongings behind. As a result of the meltdown, no one has been allowed to live here due to the high amounts of radiation set off from the explosion. The toxic cloud of particles affected a large part of eastern europe and some material was even found as far away as Switzerland. This photo here depicts whats known as the elephant foot is the reminisce of the black lava firefighters found that oozed directed from the core of the power plant. This is basically molten radioive lava and certainly not something you want to get close. Stand next to this thing for 300 hundred seconds and youll only have two days to live. Although nature has been able to flourish here, mankind certainly wont be making their way back to this place any time soon. \r

1.Fukushima Power Plant `\r
A tsunami that struck the coast of Japan in new after an earth and its the worst nuclear power plant disaster since Chernobyl by a longshot. The reors automatically shut down and the tsunami destroyed the emergency cooling generators causing it to overheat. This lead to not one, not two, but three nuclear meltdowns and the releasing of radioive material all over the area. It was given the Level 7 classification by the International Nuclear Event Scale. This has lead many people seriously concerned for their health in this area and the eventual number of cancer victims could be through the roof! Radiation hotspots like this one in kashiwa are completely closed from the public. Radioivity is now found much more often through the ent
