During the Russian occupation of the shuttered Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine, someone stole radioactive materials from a radiation monitoring laboratory near the plant. A nuclear expert said that there was a low risk that this stolen material could be used to construct a dirty bomb.
I have been blogging about how the Russian attack and seizure of the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine has released radioactive materials into the atmosphere. But there is another side to the story. How have Russian troops been affected by the radioactivity around Chernobyl?
There has been great concern following the Russian occupation of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant that there is an increased danger of release of radioactive materials into the atmosphere. A large area was irradiated by the nuclear accident in 1986. Now those concerns have been verified.
