On October 9, 2019, specialists of the licensed company TechnoTerra and Greenpeace Russia experts, in the presence of journalists and local activists, measured and took soil samples on the slope between the Moscow Polymetals Plant and the Moskvorechye railway station. It is on this section that it is planned to build the South-East Chord — a new multi-lane road.
Even on the surface of the earth, the devices recorded the power of gamma radiation 5-8 times higher than normal. During construction work, radioactive dust can be carried over considerable distances. The nearest residential buildings from this place are only 200 meters away.
