(Finance) – The head of the Russian Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, quoted by the Ria Novosti agency, announced the destruction of a deposit of ammunition to depleted uranium sent from the West by Russian forces which created a “radioactive cloud” moving towards Europe. According to Patrushev also an increase in radioactive levels it has already been detected in Poland. However, the head of the Russian Security Council did not say where the bombing would have taken place, but in recent days images of a Russian attack that took place on May 13 in the region of Khmelnitsky, west of Kiev, which resulted in a giant black cloud in the shape of a mushroom cloud.
However, the news was denied byPolish Atomic Agency. “We have not received any notification of a radioactive emergency,” the Agency explained in a statement, explaining that it is “in constant contact with the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Ukrainian Nuclear Regulatory Authority (Snriu)” and to have access “to the International Radiation Emergency Early Notification System (Usie)”. After the “false information about the radiation danger in Poland” the Agency added that “the situation in the country is normal”: the peaks “observed in the last few days in Poland, but also in the rest of Europe, are not unusual” and “occur regularly” with the rains.
The denial also comes from Kiev. The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine quoted by Ukrinform stated that “based on the results of measurements, it can be argued that there is no reason to worry about an increase in the radiation background in the Khmelnytsky Territory.”
“The radiation background measurements were conducted using the dosimeter-radiometer ‘Terra Mks-05’ during the day in 9 points evenly distributed throughout the city. The obtained values u200bu200bare from 0.12 to 0.15 µSv/h, which correspond to long-term indicators for the territory of the city of Khmelnytskyi and they do not exceed the norm (0.3 µSv/h). Based on the results of measurements, it can be argued that there is no reason to worry about an increase in the radiation background in the Khmelnytskyi Territory,” the Khmelnytsky University experts finally wrote.
