With the number of super heroes who get their powers from radioactive waste, you’d think there’d be a lot more short-lived super heroes. Radiation may seem like an awesome source of powers, but the reality is that it is more likely to cause problems than grant powers.

If you’re not entirely convinced that humans need protection against radiation, Atlas Obscura has compiled a list of the most radioactive, toxic, or otherwise dangerous locations in the world. Bear in mind that they call these the “7 Places That Could Give You Superpowers, but Will Probably Kill You.” So you might want to think twice about making your travel plans to these locations!
