Seven demolished sites showing high levels of radiation have been successfully decontaminated in Iraq, the Iraqi Environment Ministry announced Wednesday (March 14th).

The ministry's Centre for the Prevention of Radiation supervised the removal of radioactive contamination at seven sites that the Ministry of Science and Technology had been cleaning up since 2009, said Deputy Environment Minister Kamal Hassan Latif.

The decontamination process included removing radioactive debris, designating a 25-meter radius around each contaminated area to observe radioactivity levels, and analysing the soil at each site to confirm it is free of radioactive material, he said.

The sites include facilities that were used in Iraq's nuclear programme under former President Saddam Hussein. The Ministry of Science and Technology has been demolishing and clearing these sites of radioactive contamination with help from government and international agencies. '
How does that fit the BBC narrative?
