The corium of the Elephant's Foot might not be as active as it was, but it's still generating heat and still melting down into the base of Chernobyl. The Elephant's Foot will cool over time, but it will remain radioactive and (if you were able to touch it) warm for centuries to come. Why can't you look at the elephant's foot? The more radiation released from a mass of atoms, the more dangerous it is. In one hour, the Elephant's Foot would expose you to the radiation of over four and a half million chest x-rays. That dose is almost 1,000 times stronger than exposures that have been clearly linked to increased cancer risk.

It is so radioactive that it gives off a pale blue glow. På motsvarande sätt, is chernobyl sinking? But it's still melting down and remains highly radioactive. In 2016, the New Safe Confinement (NSC) was slid over Chernobyl to prevent any more radiation leaks from the nuclear power plant.
