The world’s leading authority on the impact of the Chernobyl disaster has escaped the war in Ukraine and now wants to create a research centre in Mayo.
Professor Yury Bandazhevsky will hold a press conference in Castlebar next Tuesday to ask the world to support the project and enable him continue his ground-breaking work on the impact of radiation poisoning.
“It is my life’s work. It is hugely important for the whole world, and I want the centre to be here in Mayo, where there is no interference, no dark cloud and no denials,” Bandazhevsky said.
