Russia ‘looted’ Chernobyl lab with ‘highly active’ radioactive samples

"Russian troops “looted and destroyed” a specialist laboratory containing “highly active”
radioactive samples from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, Ukrainian officials claimed Wednesday.

Invading forces had made the now-decommissioned main plant — site of the world’s worst nuclear meltdown in 1986 — an early target, storming and taking control of it on the first day of the war last month." NYP
