'Time bomb' buried in ice 'threaten' the whole world!
It seems that a dangerous "time bomb" of the radioactive effects of nuclear collapse and weapons testing will be launched and spread all over the world.
A team of international scientists studying nuclear effects on the planet has found evidence of the implications of nuclear weapons in glaciers around the world.
Scientists studied the possibility of radioactive material in the glacial deposits of the Arctic, Iceland, the Alps, the Caucasus Mountains, British Columbia and Antarctica.
Worse, nuclear concentrations have been found at a rate of at least 10 times higher than at other sites.
"There are high levels we see in the environment outside the nuclear ban zones," said Caroline Claeson of the University of Plymouth.
Nuclear effects fall on the ground like acid rain, usually absorbed across the surface.
But in cold weather, radioactive materials can fall like ice and settle in the ice, forming heavier deposits.
Major nuclear accidents, such as the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, could spread radioactive materials worldwide.
"Radioactive particles are very light, so when you're moving into the atmosphere, you can get very far away," Caroline said.
The research team also managed to discover some of the implications of the Fukushima nuclear collapse in 2011.
The study also found significant amounts of the consequences of nuclear weapons tests, from the 1950s and 1960s onwards.
As global temperatures rise, the threat of nuclear disaster is once again increasing worldwide, leading to contamination of food and water supplies.
Currently, it is impossible to determine the degree of risk to human life caused by the melting of radioactive glaciers.
