Two Ukrainian facilities containing nuclear waste suffered damage amid
Russia’s now four-day-old invasion, international monitors reported on
Sunday. Missiles hit a radioactive waste-disposal site in Kyiv, and an
electrical transformer was damaged in a similar depot in Kharkiv, according
to an email from the International Atomic Energy Agency. Inspectors are
still awaiting radiation measurements from local authorities to determine
the extent of the damage. “These two incidents highlight the very real
risk that facilities with radioactive material will suffer damage during
the conflict, with potentially severe consequences for human health and the
environment,” IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said.
