Prosecutors in Chechnya are looking into how “catastrophic” levels of radioactivity were recorded at a factory in the Russian republic.

Radioactive levels at the plant were half those recorded at the Chernobyl plant in 1986, Russian TV reports.

Investigators said the radiation posed a danger to people living near it in the region’s capital, Grozny.

Radiation levels at one storage facility in the plant were 58,000 times higher than normal levels, Russian state TV is quoted as saying.
