  • Russian Nuclear “accident”

    Posted by kaldridgewv2211 on August 12, 2019 at 8:49 am

    I’ve seen some pictures and things on Twitter about a small mushroom cloud and cities being evacuated / residents being given iodine.  Apparently (for some reason) these buffoons need a nuclear power missile.  Why the fudge would you slap a small nuclear reactor onto something meant to explode?  Apparently there was a spike in radiation detected.  Like WTF Russia.

    “The failed missile test that ended in an explosion killing five atomic scientists last week on Russias White Sea involved a small nuclear power source, according to a top official at the institute where they worked.”

    The Russians started by saying it was a little nothing.   Now they’ve already admitted it was a “small” reactor exploding.
     
    This could get worse as the story unfolds

        The pictures Ive seen sure look like a small nuke went off. Also worth noting that theyre sending the Chernobyl on ice reactor to the arctic and their sunken submarine is emitting radiation.

        They also tested a boat load of Nucs in Khazakatan which has messed up the gene pool there.

          [link=https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-60528828] Chernobyl: Radiation spike at nuclear plant seized by Russian forces

          [/link]
           
          A radiation spike has been recorded near Chernobyl’s nuclear power plant which has been seized by Russian forces, monitoring data shows.[/b]

          Invading [link=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-60514228]Russian troops took control of the plant[/link] – the site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster in 1986 – on Thursday, Ukraine said.

          [link=https://www.saveecobot.com/en/radiation-maps#10/51.3418/29.7063/gamma/comp+cams+fire]Radiation levels increased about 20-fold on Thursday[/link], monitoring stations there reported.

          But experts say another major nuclear disaster there is “extremely unlikely”.

          The rise was caused by heavy military vehicles stirring contaminated soil in the 4,000-sq-km (2,485 sq-mile) exclusion zone surrounding the abandoned plant, Ukraine’s [link=https://snriu.gov.ua/en/news/updated-information-radiation-situation-exclusive-zone]State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate reported [/link].

            [h1][b]Ukraine Warns of Chernobyl Radiation Leak Risk[/b][/h1]  
            Ukraines state-run nuclear company said that radioactive substances could be released from Ukraines Chernobyl nuclear power plant because it cannot cool spent nuclear fuel after its power connection was severed, [link=https://www.reuters.com/world/ukraine-nuclear-firm-warns-radiation-risk-after-power-cut-occupied-chernobyl-2022-03-09/]Bloomberg[/link] reports.
             
            It said fighting made it impossible to immediately repair the high-voltage power line to the plant, which was captured by Russian forces after the Kremlin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24.

              They seem awfully cavalier around these power plants
