#RadiationLeak In #Russia's #Khabarovsk: What We Know So Far

Authorities said radiation levels would be monitored for the next two days and the source of the radiation would be investigated.

April 5, 2024

"Russia has declared a 'state of emergency' in Khabarovsk, a city on the #AmurRiver in southeastern part of the country, after a mystery potentially cancer-causing radiation leak was detected.

"Local authorities have restricted access to Khabarovsk, an industrial district. The news has generated a lot of buzz across the world with people remembering the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, which was the part of erstwhile Soviet Union, in 1986. Authorities have identified the source of the radiation in Khabarovsk. The city is close to the border with China and has a population of 630,000.

"Here's what we know about the radiation leak:

- Russian news agency TASS said in a report that elevated radiation levels were detected near a power pylon about 2.5 km from residential buildings. It added that source of the radiation has been found.

- The source was "removed and placed in a protective container" and "transported to a radioactive waste storage facility".

- No one had been injured or exposed to radiation and "there is no threat to the health of citizens", TASS quoted the local branch of Russia's consumer safety watchdog as saying.

- Videos from the city have appeared on social media and show a man wearing a nuclear protective mask with a radiation reader, according to Metro. The metre on the device quickly rises as the man walks over a "waste dump", the outlet further said.

- The man is heard saying on camera that the number on the metre was 20, enough potentially to increase cancer risk, damage DNA, cause foetal damage, and threaten the health of children, the outlet further said.

"Authorities said radiation levels would be monitored for the next two days and the source of the radiation would be investigated."

"Inflation is not about the dude at Arby's who got a 50 cent raise 3 months ago or a $1400 check 3 years ago. It's about corporations making record profits by ripping-off Americans so CEOs can spend trillions on stock buybacks & dividends. It's about corporate greed, boss."

Russian city in state of emergency after 'radiation leak'

April 6, 2024

NEW DELHI: "#Khabarovsk, the largest city in #Russia's far east, is under a state of emergency after a nuclear #RadiationLeak was detected.

"According to news reports, the authorities found high radiation levels near a power pylon located about 2.5 kilometers away from residential areas.

"No injuries or exposure to radiation have been reported, and officials have assured that there is no immediate threat to the citizens' health, as stated by the local branch of Russia's consumer safety watchdog, TASS.

"The radioactive material has been safely contained in a protective container and transported to a designated waste storage facility within Khabarovsk.

"However, the cause of this concerning radiation spike in the city remains unexplained by the Russian authorities.

"The state of emergency will remain for another three days as the law enforcement agencies investigate the origin of the leak.

"A person wearing a nuclear protective mask was observed in a with a radiation reader showing escalating levels as he moved towards a 'waste dump'. The device alarmed at 0.45 microsieverts, with a peak reading of 5.99 displayed on the screen. Despite the video evidence indicating potentially harmful radiation levels, it took approximately a week before any action was taken or the public was informed about the situation.

"An initial report from a 'boy' on 28 March was submitted to the Russian special services, leading to the belated declaration of a state of emergency. Andrey Kolchin, the head of civil defence in the city, confirmed the discovery of the radiation source, resulting in the cordoning off of the area and the urgent implementation of emergency measures."
