The Libyan Atomic Energy Authority reveals the truth about the levels of radioactive contamination in the Yafran area.

Pulbished on:

Tripoli, July 5, 2025 (LANA) - The Atomic Energy Agency (AEA) confirmed that the levels of radioactive contamination in the Yafran area are normal, denying responsibility for press statements made by some individuals regarding the presence of radioactive contamination in the area.

The AEA confirmed in a statement that these statements are not based on accurate information, explaining that the radiation level of the cesium isotope Cs137 mentioned in the published paper, estimated at approximately 7 becquerels per kilogram, is lower than the levels recorded in neighboring countries. Given the location from which the samples were taken, it does not pose a risk to human health.

The agency stated that radiation exists naturally and has multiple and varied sources, but there are limits for radiation exposure permitted to citizens and others for workers in the radiation field. These limits are far below the levels recorded in the area.

The statement emphasized that assessing the impact of radiation on health is the responsibility of nuclear physicians, not the responsibility of unqualified spokespersons who made inaccurate statements, according to the statement.

The corporation emphasized in its statement that its centers routinely analyze materials and measure radiation levels in food, building materials, soil, fertilizers, water, and other materials, issuing tens of thousands of certificates and reports. It also monitors all entities using radiation sources throughout Libya to ensure their safety in accordance with Libyan specifications and the recommendations of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

It also indicated that its teams monitor all entities using radiation sources in Libya to ensure their safety in accordance with national specifications and the recommendations of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The corporation called on those concerned to respect scientific procedures and refrain from raising the issue with inaccurate methods, emphasizing the need to consult competent and responsible authorities, such as the Atomic Energy Agency, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Environment, to ensure the interests and safety of citizens.
