There was a massive explosion in Russia.
The source of the explosion was a uranium plant in Russia’s Urals region.
This, of course, created panic not only in the region, but around the world for fears of contamination.
All Good
After the explosion, Russian state-run media started to pump out reports to get people to calm down over the explosion.
The reports stated that one person had died during the explosion.
However, the reports also stated that all radiation levels were reported as normal at the facility.
Rosatom stated, “The workshop is being sanitized. The rest are operating normally.
“Measurements of background radiation were carried out at the site.
“It amounted to 0.17 microsieverts, which corresponds to natural values.”
The statement continued, “The General Director of Ural Electrochemical Plant, Alexander Dudin, together with the entire plant collective and the State Corporation’ Rosatom,’ express heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased for their devastating loss.”
The man who died in the accident was described as a 65-year-old “dedicated equipment maintenance technician.”
All workers at the facility at the time of the explosion “underwent medical examination at the Central Clinical Hospital No. 31 of the Federal Medical-Biological Agency of Russia in Novouralsk.
“We are relieved to report that most workers have been discharged after undergoing decontamination procedures, and their lives and health are not at risk.”
The plant’s deputy production manager, Yuri Mineyev, stated, “There is no danger of any kind for residents of the city of Novouralsk or the staff of the plant.”
