Not sure if this is the right forum, please move if a more appropriate forum exists.
Even after Fukoshina I'm not quite sure what to make of radioactivity, how to read levels or radiation and what the danger is of getting sick.
Below are two small articles about the Aktau area in western Kazakhstan. Lake Koshkar Ata seems to be contaminated with heavy minerals and radioactive waste, there's an open cast uranium mine nearby and lots of scrap metal, originally used for mining.

From the articles, or just from comon sense, what is your feeling about living there? This is not a school topic. The Aktau area is currently seeing a boom from the oil industry, with many Western companies and people moving there. There even seem to be plans to build a Dubai-like town with artificial islands, etc.. I just don't find any information on how dangerous it actually is to live there. In case you ask: there are some amazing job offers out there
