The accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, near the city of Pripyat in Ukraine, is considered one of the biggest, if not the biggest, environmental disaster in history.
In the heart of the Infamous Exclusion Zone (under reactor number 4) there is a deadly radioactive object that kills in minutes. Because of its strange shape, it was called "elephant's foot".
It is a mass of toxic material, created at the dawn of the nuclear disaster in 1986, from the highly dangerous corium.
Rescue services discovered the "elephant's foot" lying in the dark room and it is believed that the material has leaked from the reactor and ended up on the containment floor.
Upon contact with the concrete, it changed composition, cooled and hardened, reports The Sun.
According to experts, the mass still emits enough radiation today to kill in 300 seconds.
If such contact were to occur, the consequences would be internal bleeding, convulsions, uncontrolled vomiting, diarrhea and of course a painful death.
Many believe that the "elephant foot" is the most dangerous waste in the world, and the public has only seen two photos to date.
The radiation has also affected the cameras, so they are of poorer quality, regardless of the equipment used.
