ISPNPP has a separate lab in Chornobyl with even more dangerous materials: \u201cpowerful sources of gamma and neutron radiation\u201d used to test devices, Nosovskyi says, as well as intensely radioactive samples of material leftover from the Unit Four meltdown. Nosovskyi has lost contact with the lab, he says, so \u201cthe fate of these sources is unknown to us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Russian military forces quickly took control of all Chernobyl facilities shortly after they launched their invasion into Ukraine back at the end of February and effectively held the staff there hostage for nearly a month, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>The report continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Chornobyl is not the only Ukrainian nuclear installation at risk in the war. On 4 March, Russian forces shelled the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant\u2014fortunately missing its reactor halls. Two days later, a rocket attack damaged a research reactor used to generate neutrons for experiments at the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology. Nosovskyi labels the assaults as nothing short of state-sponsored \u201cnuclear terrorism.\u201d But Chornobyl has a unique set of radioactive hazards. On 11 March, wildfires ignited in the nearby radioactive forests, which harbor radioisotopes that were disgorged in the accident and taken up by plants and fungi. Russian military activities have prevented firefighters from entering the exclusion zone, Nosovskyi says. The fires continue to burn and could grow more intense as the weather warms, he says, releasing radiation that could lead to \u201csignificant deterioration of the radiation situation in Ukraine and throughout Europe.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Nuclear experts warned that \u201cthousands of other sites in Ukraine have radiological materials\u201d and that while there are ongoing attempts to secure the materials, not all of the materials are closely monitored by officials.<\/p>\n<p>Vitaly Fedchenko, a nuclear security expert at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, notes that Ukraine, as a former member of the Soviet Union, has not kept close track of everything. \u201cThere are a lot of radioactive sources that are not on anyone\u2019s radar,\u201d he claimed, \u201ceven Ukraine\u2019s radar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
