    That wouldn’t work though. In Indian they know a certain river is filled with toxic waste, they swim in it because it’s holy. I bet that people would still pilgrimage there, just maybe an end of like thing.

      That’s different, you aren’t guaranteed to die wading through the Ganges. Even with a hazmat suit your time in the irradiation zone is limited before you risk a horrifying, painful and slow death.

          I truely hope english isn’t your primary language. Because if it is you don’t understand the word toxic. Lethal, deadly, fatal, these words mean something WILL kill you. Toxic CAN kill you in some contexts but really just means “is bad for human health”. You seem to think the Ganges and Elephant’s foot are of equal levels of danger and that’s laughable.
