The level of radiation in the accident area of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is back to normal, says the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi.
Gross said levels rose “at some point” during the takeover of the nuclear power plant as Russian troops moved around the area with heavy equipment.
The director general of the organization condemned the takeover of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine by Russian forces. According to Gross, the occupation of the power plant for several weeks created a very unstable situation and was “very, very dangerous.”
Grossi spoke while visiting Chernobyl on the anniversary of the 1986 nuclear accident.
