The Elephant Foot. Radioactive material from the Chernobyl meltdownAccording to Nautilus, exposure to the Elephant’s Foot can cause a series of strange and horrifying ailments. For example, 30 seconds of exposure can cause dizziness and fatigue up to a week later. At two minutes of exposure, your cells start to hemorrhage, and by five minutes your lifespan shrinks to about two days, making the Elephant’s Foot one of the deadliest waste products on Earth.The Elephant’s Foot is made of a substance called corium, which is basically the melted portion of the reactor’s core. When Chernobyl melted down, its core burned through the reactor and turned into molten corium. This waste material cooled in the basement of the reactor and formed something that resembles an elephant’s foot. When it was first discovered, back in 1986, about 30 seconds of exposure was enough to kill a person.
