Nuking a hurricane

If something broke in the reaqctor, it's possible for the waste to flow into the lake.  A map of the place would be useful.

Unfortunately, you give human nature too much credit. They were dumping the nuclear wastes directly into the rivers, but when vast numbers of villagers started getting radiation sickness they diverted the flow into that lake. This continued until the early 70's, when if one were standing in a row boat in the middle of the lake you would receive a lethal dose of radiation in one hour. They have a huge ground water contamination problem in that area, and particulate contamination anywhere downwind. This is a problem that is 10 times worse than Chernobyl.

This was not a mistake, or an accident. It was just plain old human stupidity.
