Ukraine's Nuclear Agency Reports Higher Chernobyl Radiation After Russian Military Takeover

ABP News  

Kyiv: Ukraine’s nuclear energy regulatory agency has said that higher than usual gamma radiation levels have been detected in the area near the decommissioned Chernobyl nuclear plant. Higher gamma radiation levels have been detected in the Chernobyl zone, the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate said on Friday, AP reported. The State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate, however, did not provide details of the increase and attributed the rise to a “disturbance of the topsoil due to the movement of a large amount of heavy military equipment through the exclusion zone and the release of contaminated radioactive dust into the air”. International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan said he is “closely following recent developments in and around Ukraine with increasing concern”.
