>Andreev Bay
be USSR, early 80s
northern fleet sub base at Andreev Bay
“comrades, we need somewhere to put all this spicy submarine juice”
build giant swimming pools of concrete right on the shore
fill them with spent nuclear fuel rods, just raw-dogging physics
“nothing can possibly go wrong”
few years later
concrete starts cracking, radiation stew leaking into the bay
Geiger counters sound like Geiger EDM festival
officers like “da, situation is under control” while glowing in the dark
solution: send in conscripts with shovels and buckets
no protective suits, just a hat and good Soviet spirit
orders are to toss sandbags and scrap metal on top of glowing rods
dudes literally taking turns speedrunning cancer percent
somehow doesn’t explode
Andreev Bay remains one of the most radioactive places on Earth
fish caught nearby have more HP than a T-72
to this day Russia still hasn’t cleaned it up, just painted over the radiation with hammer-and-sickle logos
tfw Soviets made a nuclear Chernobyl stew by the sea and the fix was “just throw Ivan at it”
