Ukraine officials are reporting higher levels of radiation around Chernobyl nuclear plant after Russian troops took control of the facility on Thursday.
Control levels of gamma radiation were"exceeded" at the site of what is considered the worst nuclear disaster on record, but the condition of the nuclear facilities remained"unchanged," the Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine said Friday morning local time.
Data from the automated radiation monitoring system of the exclusion zone, which is available online, indicate that the control levels of gamma radiation dose rate have been exceeded at a significant number of observation points. pic.twitter.com/G4WEGgkMcTParliament said that the cause for the change was"impossible" to determine because of Russia's occupation of the area and ongoing military action.
To minimize the casualties among the civilian population, save the lives of innocent 🇺🇦 children and women and to save the world from a new nuclear catastrophe, we urge @NATO & #EU to close the sky over #Kyiv and the #Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. pic.twitter.com/c4livWMbLROn Thursday, both Ukrainian and Russian officials confirmed that Russian troops had captured a nuclear power plant in Chernobyl.
