I knew Russia's Lake Karachay is highly radioactive place where one can't survive. I wasn't aware of any other place. This video explained it very briefly.

Radioactive foods is quite surprising too :

 

1. Brazil nuts - According to Prevention, six to eight nuts fulfill 777 % of your daily selenium needs. Unfortunately, selenium can be toxic in high amounts; too much can lead to hair loss, brittleness or loss of nails, dermatitis, neurological abnormalities, and worst case scenario, death. Yikes ! Brazil nuts also contain small amounts of radium, a radioactive element, in about 1–7 nCi/kg or 40–260 Bq/kg, about 1000 times higher than in several other common foods; according to Oak Ridge Associated Universities, this is not because of elevated levels of radium in the soil, but due to "the very extensive root system of the tree.
