The Elephant's foot is a blob of formerly molten nuclear waste and concrete that burned its way through the reactor and ended up in the basement at Chernobyl.
It's the most radioactive waste in the world, and being in the same room as it will kill you pretty quickly.
All the photos of it are super grainy because the radiation cooks the film. The workers had to build a shielded cart to wheel the camera in front of them in order to photograph it.
Best description of it I've read is "It's the closest thing we have to Medusa"
