Is The Chernobyl Elephant S Foot Still Hot. At that level, i don't know if it can produce a ld50 dose fast enough to cause ars and death. The elephant's foot was discovered by workers in december 1986. Even though it's one of the most lethal radioactive masses in the world, scientists are still putting themselves in danger to study it. But what created this deadly mass of lava? Over a long enough exposure period, it's enough to. The elephant’s foot is formed by 11 tons of a very unique variety of lava named corium, after its origin from molten core debris. After the chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster in april 1986, a deadly mass of radioactive materials known as the elephant's foot was left under reactor 4. If it hits ground water, it could trigger another catastrophic explosion or leach radioactive material into the water nearby residents drink. The elephant’s foot has little to do with the foot of an actual elephant. Even today, though, it’s still estimated to be slightly above the ambient temperature as the radioactive material decomposes. Scientists put a camera on a wheel and pushed it out to photograph and study the mass. Over the years, the elephant’s foot cooled and cracked. Long after bleeding from the core, this unique piece of. And how much radiation will hit you if you touch the elephant’s foot? I've heard as of 2007 it was ~5 r/h in the vicinity of the foot.
