A recent NDTV report lists 13 locations across the globe that are dangerously radioactive and largely off-limits to humans due to nuclear accidents, weapons testing, and industrial contamination. These include infamous sites like Chernobyl in Ukraine, Fukushima in Japan, and the Hanford Site in the United States. Other dangerous zones, such as The Polygon in Kazakhstan and Mailuu-Suu in Kyrgyzstan, stem from Soviet-era activities. Some areas, like Somalia’s coast, face illegal nuclear waste dumping. The report highlights the persistent environmental and health risks linked to mishandled nuclear technology and inadequate global oversight. (PC: NDTV)
