The Ukrainian authorities informed the organization that “the building, its thermal insulation and the experimental room were damaged, but the neutron source, which contains radioactive material (…) was not hit”, according to the announcement.
The facility, the stock of radioactive material in which it is small, was used before the war for “research and development and production of radioisotopes for medical and industrial applications”, it is further explained.
