(ANSA) – ROME, APRIL 10 – In the Red Forest, in the exclusion zone of the Ukrainian nuclear power plant of Chernobyl, where the Russian military dug trenches and tried to build fortifications, “abnormally high levels of radiation have been recorded”. The Ukrainian state company for nuclear energy Energoatom reports on Telegram, whose head Petro Kotin together with the specialists of the Company visited one of the areas of the forest.
The external radiation index “is 10-15 times higher than normal”, explains Energoatom, adding that “one of the indicators that forms the internal radiation received by the occupants from the soil surface (Beta contamination)” is “160 times higher than the norm “. Another factor of internal radiation is alpha pollution, which is formed as a result of irradiated nuclear fuel fragments, graphite masonry, etc. scattered throughout this part of the Red Forest: “These fragments are now found at a depth of 40-80 cm; the occupants have dug deeper. When ingested, this type of radiation is tens and hundreds of times more powerful than gamma radiation and beta, “says Energoatom, concluding that all Russian soldiers who have been in the Red Forest and have been digging” for nearly 30 days, will face radiation sickness of varying severity. ” (HANDLE).
