YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFlooding has devastated parts of southern Russian and Kazakhstan in recent weeks and tens of thousands of people have been displaced. But as water levels are sinking, scientists say a different crisis may be surfacing. Russian independent media and environmentalists say old uranium mines have been flooded, leaking radioactive material into the Tobol River. Alexei Shvarts, a Russian physicist and ecologist, warns that decaying uranium alpha-particles may cause cancer in humans. Russian nuclear energy authorities at state-owned Rosatom claim that the uranium mines are at no risk of flooding and that radioactive material has not been detected in water sources.
