15 MOST Radioactive Places on Earth

Radioactive decay is a process where unstable atomic nucleuses lose energy and emit radiation. It's silent, invisible, and can be incredibly dangerous. Whether caused by accident or caused intentionally, there are several places on Earth that are highly radioactive. From Chernobyl to the coast of Somalia, here are the top 15 most dangerous radioactive areas on Earth.

Watching from Aberdeen, Scotland and still in shock at number 15😯🤯

I put in radon mitigation systems for 5 years, they make it sound alot scarier than it is lol but long term exposure can still definitely cause health risks

[SillyBarefooter]

You have Ramsar in the video at both 15 & 14.

[memphisrains]

Here in scotland our land was a bad fallout zone from Chernobyl...

[edwardlopez]

Still wondering how the drone owner flying over the nuclear plants towers got to post this up without getting in trouble

In Ramsar they have lived with it since the towns existence, they are doing studies, but there is no evidence of harm. We don’t know what is harmful and what level is helpful, they are doing studies. Astronauts are subject to high levels and don’t seem to suffer any negative affects.

“its silent, invisible and incredibly deadly”
kids sneaking at night to eat chips “You dare challenge me?”

[Krazyvet]

Concrete dome must be next to do a video about, interesting.

[tatijanacaldrmoska]

You showed Ramsar in 15 but you said some were in Scotland

Just a point of contention here; almost everybody who is depicting glowing radioactive materials has got it all wrong — specifically, the color. It's called Cherenkov radiation and is the result of neutrons from a radioactive material that is submerged in water causing what is effectively light-emitting shockwave when protons, traveling faster than the speed of light, release energy in the form of light as they slow down. That glow has a very specific color due to it emitting photons at a specific wavelength. That color is a light blue, not green. So, anybody who wants to accurately depict that radioactive glow should be coloring it that distinctive blue color, not green as just about everybody does now.

Dude, I live in Texas and there’s I’m pretty sure one place with radiation. I visited there. I’m just a kid. We’ve been waiting out the radiation for 100 years and yet it’s still not clear.😮

[mohwybar]

i knew the number 1 place would be fukushima, I bet most people thought it would be chernobyl.

[wyliesdiesels]

why is a graphical video of a fusion reactor used for the segment about the church rock uranium mine @ 12:36? completely unrelated

[oddities-whatnot]

The birds toilet after a lactose intolerance induced cream cake nightmare.

[annakatu]

I personally thought it was Chernobyl bc ever since the war, Chernobyl has been getting more and more radioactive due to the bombs and missiles but still fukushima was very bad

[lowellbentley]

And the guy in charge of our nuclear fuel program steals luggage on the daily.

[lowellbentley]

We watched the dude who went through and saw low levels of radiation in chernobyl.

[danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk]

15:37 Major goof, a completely different nuclear power plant that had zero radiation leaks.

[petercollette]

I think they're holding back American stories don't you think

[wildhogsful]

people talk about global warming they should be talking about what the governments have done to the earth all in the name of greed and war. I still believe fish from rivers and the ocean is contaminated and causing cancer
