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.
