Today, Thursday, the International Atomic Energy Agency declared that examinations conducted at the request of Kyiv following Russian charges that it was working on a “dirty bomb” had turned up no evidence of “unannounced nuclear operations” in three locations in Ukraine.
“Our technical and scientific evaluation of the results we have reached so far has not shown evidence of unannounced nuclear activities and nuclear materials in these three sites.
”
The three sites underwent field inspections at the request of the Ukrainian government, according to Grusi, who also noted that the agency is prepared to conduct additional inspections to confirm that no such operations or nuclear materials are there.
He said, “We will make an announcement about our report on environmental sampling results as soon as we can.” He was referring to the samples that the agency inspectors had taken.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said in a statement that “in the last several days, the inspectors have been able to carry out all the activities that the International Atomic Energy Agency had intended to conduct, and it was allowed to enter the sites without obstruction.”
Dimtero Couliba, the foreign minister of Ukraine, thanked the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Kyiv for their “great and quick” collaboration in exposing “Russian lies,” as he called it.
After Russia disclosed the existence of such activities at the three sites—the Kyiv Nuclear Research Institute, a mining and processing facility in the Joufati Kodi, and a factory in Dnibro—Ukraine asked the International Atomic Energy Agency in writing to deploy teams of inspectors.
While Kyiv thought that Moscow may deploy a dirty bomb, perhaps to justify the use of conventional nuclear weapons on the impact of its forces being settled, Russia has accused Ukraine of preparing to use dirty bombs on Russian soldiers.
The radiation bomb, sometimes known as the “dirty bomb,” comprises of conventional explosions that are surrounded by radioactive substances that are meant to disperse in the air when the explosion occurs.
Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, has already requested that IAEA inspectors visit Ukrainian nuclear installations “as soon as feasible.”
This is the “dirty bomb.” The International Agency denies the preparation of Ukraine for it
