Ukraine, radioactive material in the nuclear waste repository near Kiev not hit

The radioactive materials stored in the deposit near Kiev reached by a missile that hit the site in the past few hours were not hit or in any case damaged. This was announced by the operator responsible for the Ukrainian structure.
From the information in the possession of the ISIN, it can also be assumed that any involvement of the stored waste could only have local consequences. However, checks are underway on any damage to the integrity of the structures and plant systems.
ISIN, the National Inspectorate for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection, continues to monitor h. 24 the situation in Ukraine with regard to nuclear plants and deposits of radioactive material, in constant contact with international agencies dealing with nuclear energy.
