In the Chernobyl exclusion zone, which was previously occupied by Russian troops – the background radiation is increasing

Automated exclusion zone radiation monitoring systems, which are available online, detect exceedances of gamma radiation dose rate control levels.

This was reported by the press service of the Verkhovna Rada.

Data from the Automated Exclusion Zone Radiation Monitoring System, available online, indicate that gamma radiation dose rate control levels (red dots) have been exceeded at a significant number of observation points. Due to the occupation and hostilities, it is currently impossible to establish the reasons for the change in the radiation background in the exclusion zone.This was reported by the press service of the Verkhovna Rada.
It is impossible to verify what exactly caused the increase in the background radiation – the Russians are in the way.

It is important to remember that Russian occupation forces captured Chernobyl nuclear power plant yesterday. The condition of the former nuclear power plant, confinement and nuclear waste storage facilities is unknown.

The President’s Office considers this attack to be one of the most serious in Europe.

It is predicted that the Russians “will use the damage received during the attack to blame Ukraine, or they will damage these by far the most dangerous objects.”
