Russia's Federal Service for Supervision of Consumption Rospotrebnadzor has launched radiation monitoring in the southern part of Russia's Dagestan Republic after Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment facility was damaged by an Israeli airstrike.
Monitoring is carried out every two hours to promptly assess risks. According to monitoring data conducted in the ancient city of Derbent, the radiation situation in Dagestan is currently stable and no abnormalities have been recorded.
Not only Russia, Azerbaijan also announced that it will check the radiation levels in the border area with Iran. AZ Post reported that experts from the nuclear research department of the Agency for Digital Development and Innovation (AIDC) were sent to the Astara region to conduct research on the level of radioactive contamination in the air.
Meanwhile, according to the spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Mr. Behrouz Kamalvandi, the damage at Natanz was mainly above ground while most of the facility is underground.
There is currently a small leak inside the facility but radioactive contamination has not spread to the outside environment.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) also confirmed that there was no radioactive release outside the nuclear facility in Natanz, only radioactive contamination inside the facility and that the incident was "controllable."
The IAEA also said four key buildings at Iran's Isfahan nuclear facility were damaged in the Israeli attack on June 13, including a uranium conversion facility and a fuel plate manufacturing plant.
