According to the press service of the Utena county police headquarters, on 9th June, at 12.55 pm, in the village of Drukshiniai in the building of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant was found the dead body of a man. AS Head of Communications at Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant Natalija Survila-Glebova declared, that the man was an employee of the administration, however, as it became known to us, the person was directly related to the dismantling of the nuclear reactor. The probable cause of death is thyroid cancer. According to two unrelated sources from Nuclear Power Plant, there have been more cases of employees complaining about poor health (nausea, fatigue, headache, hair loss, etc.). The symptoms are very similar to chronic radiation sickness. The Lithuanian leadership made a decision not to reveal this fact, so as not to create panic among the population. At the same time, the administration of the Ignalina authorities has given instructions on the mandatory issuance of iodine-containing preparations. A pre-trial investigation has begun to determine the cause of death. All possible causes of the accident are checked, including the probable leak of radioactive materials. Besides, was organized an extraordinary medical examination of all technical workers of the Nuclear Power Plant.
