About it reports The Mirror. The Russian authorities did not explain what anxiety was associated with radiation in Khabarovsk. But the emergency mode will be maintained for at least a few days. The head of the city department for civil defense and emergency Andriy Kolchin reported that the source of increased radiation was found on April 3 on the site on Suvorov Street. "The area is small - 30 by 30 meters. All services reacted staff, the territory was surrounded.
It was decided to introduce the NA to the Khabarovsk regime," Baikal 24 reads. Apparently, the authorities needed a week to take action, journalists said. The published footage in the dark shows a man in a protective mask with a radiation counter. It rises quickly when it goes "waste waste". Volunteers arrived at the scene earlier than the Ministry of Emergencies. The dosimeter showed up to 800 microstivers, which is 1600 times higher than a safe value.
In the video, the man says that the level of radiation was sufficient to risk cancer, damage to DNA, the health of pre -natal fetus and children. The potentially deadly radiation leak in Khabarovsk was known about a week before the action was taken and a public warning was made. It is reported that a local resident accidentally found out that the level of radiation raised in the area in the city area. It happened on March 28.
A man who made primary measurements informed emergency special services, but only today was a state of emergency. The Ministry of Emergencies surrounded the area of 30 by 30 meters. The radioactive object was a capsule with cesium from the defectoscope. The authorities assured the public that there were no threats to life.
