Russian troops “looted and destroyed” a specialist laboratory containing “highly active” radioactive samples from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, Ukrainian officials claimed Wednesday.Invading forces had made the main now-decommissioned plant — site of the world’s worst nuclear meltdown in 1986 — an early target, storming and taking control of it on the first day of war last month.This week they also “illegally seized” a new $6.5 million laboratory that was opened in 2015 with support from the European Commission to improve management of radioactive waste there, according to the Ukrainian agency responsible for the Chernobyl exclusion zone.
