DIRTY TACTICS: Ukraine claims without evidence that materials for DIRTY BOMB were stolen from lab near Chernobyl
03/30/2022 / By Arsenio Toledo
Ukraine’s Institute for Safety Problems of Nuclear Power Plants (ISPNPP) has recently claimed that looters stole radioactive isotopes from a monitoring lab in Chernobyl and that these materials could be used to make a “dirty bomb.”
A dirty bomb, or radiological dispersal device, is any kind of explosive device that has been mixed with radioactive material, such as radioactive powder or pellets. When it explodes, it does not create a nuclear blast. But it does spread the radioactive material into the surrounding area, which can cause immediate serious illness to people who live within the proximity of the initial blast.
In an interview with the magazine Science, ISPNPP Director Anatolii Nosovskyi claimed that looters raided a monitoring lab in Chernobyl city, 10 miles to the southeast of the nuclear power plant.
