France detains radioactive mushrooms from Belarus


According to the representative of the French Institute for Nuclear Safety (IRSN), several days ago, the customs officers found that 3.5 tons of mushrooms from Belarus were contaminated with cesium-137 — a radioactive isotope that is a byproduct of nuclear reactors.

The shipment will be destroyed. The French side believes that the mushrooms had come from the Charnobyl area.

The information came from Reuters. Previously, the agency reported that the mushrooms were allegedly from Russia.
