UN inspectors find no sign of ‘dirty bomb’ in Ukraine
Al Jazeera
Ukraine invited UN’s nuclear watchdog to inspect three sites after Russia accused Kyiv of planning to use a dirty bomb.
The United Nations nuclear watchdog has said it found no sign of “undeclared nuclear activities” at three sites it inspected in Ukraine at Kyiv’s request following Russian allegations concerning a so-called “
dirty bomb“.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a statement on Thursday that it had been given “unfettered access” to the Institute for Nuclear Research in Kyiv, Eastern Mining and Processing Plant in Zhovti Kody, and Production Association Pivdennyi Machine-Building Plant in Dnipro.
“Based on the evaluation of the results available to date and the information provided by Ukraine, the agency did not find any indications of undeclared nuclear activities and materials at the locations,” the Vienna-based organisation said.
Inspectors also took environmental samples that will be sent off for lab analysis and the IAEA will report back on the results, the statement added.
All three of the sites had previously been mentioned by Russia in connection with its unfounded accusation that Ukraine was planning to use a dirty bomb – a conventional explosive device laced with radioactive, biological or chemical materials.
Russia’s UN ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, claimed in a letter sent to members of the UN Security Council last week that Ukraine’s nuclear research facility and mining company “received direct orders from [President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy’s regime to develop such a dirty bomb”.
Moscow has
not provided evidence for its claims, which Ukraine’s government has rejected as false.
