understand that you had to put them on to prevent inhaling radioactive dust. so when you decide to reject the ukrainian tv station report that in the so called red forest near the plant, which is highly contaminated, russian soldiers are reported to have dug trenches, and consequently will have received a considerably larger dose of radiation. physicists, sebastian flu file who has been to china beach several times, considers the actions very dangerous lung cancer like you might be able to hold it even if you're not allowed to without dropping dead immediately. but if you're digging in this area, you must realize you're going to stir up some of the really highly radioactive particles, who are the particular service, the director of the international atomic energy agency, raphael grossey plans to visit genevieve soon. we heard about the possibility of some personnel being contaminated, but we don't have any confirmation about that. vadim po, but dim however,
