The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Thursday that its inspectors completed in-field verification activities at three Ukraine locations and found no indications of undeclared nuclear activities and materials.
"Our technical and scientific evaluation of the results we have so far did not show any sign of undeclared nuclear activities and materials at these three locations. Additionally, we will report on the results of the environmental sampling as soon as possible," IAEA Director General Grossi said.
The IAEA inspectors were dispatched earlier this week to three locations - the Institute for Nuclear Research in Kyiv, Eastern Mining and Processing Plant in Zhovti Kody, and Production Association Pivdennyi Machine-Building Plant in Dnipro, at the request from the Ukrainian government in light of Russia's allegations of a "dirty bomb."
Grossi said the inspectors were able to carry out all activities that the IAEA had planned to conduct and were given unfettered access to the locations over the past few days.
