Russian soldiers took highly radioactive “souvenirs” from laboratories in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, Ukraine said Saturday. Invading Russian forces entered two laboratories in Chernobyl, which they looted and destroyed in an act of “nuclear terrorism,” the State Agency of Ukraine on Exclusion Zone Management said on Facebook. Russian troops entered a repository of ionizing radiation sources in the Ecocentre laboratory and “stole and damaged 133 sources with a total activity of about seven million becquerels,” the agency said. It is comparable to 700kg (1534 pounds) of radioactive waste with the presence of beta and gamma radiation, according to the agency.
