7. Lake Karachay
The soviet union had many factories where they manufactured nuclear weapons with radioactive materials. One of these factories had a lake close to it. The lake was constantly fed with radioactive materials, so much so that it became a dangerous place to visit. You could get killed by the radioactive materials when you stand close to the lake unprotected for several minutes. Scientists have covered the lake with concrete to make it more stable but that only reduced its toxicity – it didn’t wipe it off completely.
