Ten Most Radioactive Places on Earth Mapped Out
Do you know the dirty side of the nuclear industry? After researching this article by brainz.org, we were shocked to find out how truly awful our
radioactive waste problem is and how it is going to be hurting us all,

report by The Blacksmith Institute,
an NGO dedicated to tackling pollution. You might be surprised by the
locations of some of the world’s most radioactive places — and thus the
number of people living in fear of the effects radiation could have on
them and their children.
