State of emergency due to NUCLEAR CONTAMINATION is declared in Russian city
The Russian authorities have not explained what is causing the alarming radiation in the Khabarovsk specialised plant 'Radon', southeast Russia.
A mystery radiation source was today 'removed and placed in a protective container' and 'transported to a radioactive waste storage facility'.
Yet a state of emergency is to remain for at least three more days in the Industrialny district of the city, as law enforcement agencies examine the origin of the leak.
It appears to have taken a week for the authorities to act.
