The situation Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has just gone from bad to worse as entire residential districts in the vicinity of the facility are being evacuated by Russian authorities. This includes at least 18 settlements in the Zaporizhzhia region who have been given emergency evacuation orders.
BBC has cited as Ukrainian official as saying this has sparked a “mad panic” – also given UN’s nuclear watchdog is warning that a “severe nuclear accident” could occurr. Hours-long waits and traffic jams have been observed as thousands of people pack up and head out of the city.
Director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi described that the situation “becoming increasingly unpredictable and potentially dangerous.”
He called for stability and protection of Europe’s largest nuclear site. “I’m extremely concerned about the very real nuclear safety and security risks facing the plant. We must act now to prevent the threat of a severe nuclear accident and its associated consequences for the population and the environment,” Grossi said.
The issue is a Ukrainian counteroffensive may have started in the city, given the significantly ramped-up shelling. Regional Russian head Yevgeny Balitsk said Friday that “in the past few days, the enemy has stepped up shelling of settlements close to the front line.”
“I have therefore made a decision to evacuate first of all children and parents, elderly people, disabled people and hospital patients,” he said in a written statement.
The IAEA for its part said further that “while operating staff remain at the site” there was “deep concern about the increasingly tense, stressful, and challenging conditions for personnel and their families” – this given that families of staff members are being evacuated. The UN organization confirmed that–
It said IAEA experts at the plant had “received information that the announced evacuation of residents from the nearby town of Enerhodar – where most plant staff live – has started“.
The Russian military said noted in a statement that “The first to be evacuated are those who accepted Russian citizenship in the first months of the occupation.” Currently all reactors are said to be shut down and that operators are “doing everything to ensure nuclear safety” amid the heightened fighting.
Last week, broader evacuations of civilians near the front lines in southern regions began and have picked up pace…

While the plant has over the course of the war been subject to multiple power outages and seen external damage due to shelling (all of them ‘close-call’ incidents), it has layers of safety mechanisms such as power back-up generators and other ‘fail-safes’. However, due to the war it’s long been feared a Chernobyl-style nuclear fallout disaster could be on the horizon, given the extreme unpredictability of the situation on the ground. The power plant supplies 20% of Ukraine’s national electricity needs.

If New Khazaria is really planning to occupy that region, then Nuke-ageddon must not be in the offing.
Why is it people believe in nuke mythology as much as they believe in virus mythology?
These lies were told to us by the exact same people.
There is no evidence anywhere (other than claims made by the military industrial complex and co) that an atomic weapon ever worked.
It is infinitiely more likely that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were just two cities in Japan where the enriched uranium fuel/air “Pumpkin Bombs” “worked”. At least 60 other “Pumpkin Bombs” failed to detonate satisfactorily, so this may be why they only claimed the two city’s destructions.
What with the average Jap at the time being as simple minded and minimally educated as the average American, being told by the uS occupation forces that the napalm attacks were nukes, made little difference to the survivors, who, being duly impressed with GI Joe superiority said “more rice prease”
Continuous nuclear fission is partially powering this online convo.
That’s some theory you got there. Does it hurt often?
“That’s some theory”
Just flinging ’em at the wall.
Seeing what sticks.
It does get to be work when one has to build the fences, and ride the horse.
“Does it hurt often?”
No, my toothache lasted around 4 hours, then, it went away.
_________
If nothing else, more people know about pumpkin bombs than before.
I prefer squash bombs, the same as pumpkins bombs, but different. Check the label on the can.
Farts in a can.
couldn’t resist.
The down vote ratio is indicative of the doubt, not certainty of their belief.
I concur. If they’re pushing it and you can’t prove it, then odds are pretty good it’s a fib.
Yep HF,
My start position childhood:
Nukes real.
All history true as told.
Later….started asking questions……
____________
Those who oppose ideas I share:
My silly map string imaging thing made it possible to see all the past incarnations of self.
So many times I was absolutely certain I had found the correct truth or path, only to be disproved over time by the reality of the truth or path…..proving……..deficient.
Many true paths?….later disproved.
In the interim, having found the “right path” meant those not on the same path were instantly “othered”. Problems and hijinks ensued.
Now that I can see [and acknowledge] how many contradictory positions I’ve held in life, I can recognize and accept that while many others might say they do not like my ideas today, former iterations of myself would have argued right alongside them over my current self’s views.[so at least they are all in good company]
This suggests, that some of the people opposing the views shared today, may actually espouse them later.
Knowing one’s views have changed over time, allows one to hold them a bit more loosely, which might even open up room for the ears to take a bigger role.
Sometimes feel drawn to defend these ideas vigorously, but I do not feel that it is always necessary or wise, as I may abandom some or all of them later if I find something better.
That said, certain morals and truths are now understood…without question, without compulsion.
Understanding what one may be called upon to do in the future seems
important . Understanding why,
makes it morally right.
Well said, brother!
Chernobyl is already healed, so maybe not.
It dawns on me that radiation burns from the unburned yellow cake of this theoretical yellowcake fuel air bomb could cause “radiating burns”much as radium did in the 1910s-1930s [see Radium Girls] only worse if yellow cake uranium is more radioactive than radium, and, plus it was inhaled, allowed to remain saturated on one’s skin..and likely in any water one washed with or drank from.

Could we PLEASE fast forward to the end of this shit show!?
Headline tomorrow.
“Iran 9 Days from having Complete Enrichment!”
Well, let’s celebrate with some yellowcake, then.
Yes! I don’t know why people are in a mad panic to flee a green no emission power plant.
Well, it’s usually no emissions . . . but it’s always producing terrifying waste we don’t know what to do with. May I suggest thorium salt instead?

Big celebration.They will all get drunk and ride the centerfuge!
Just tell the usausa to stop shelling the area.
usausa is doing everything it can to bait the ruskies out of the attrition war into a full blown assault so the usausa can propagandize it to their benefit. Not gonna happen. Last desperation actions by a thug thats bleeding out on the sidewalk. I’m bet’n the ruskies don’t take the bait but we’ll see well placed missiles take out another comms center.
You mean like the ‘mad panic’ in East Palestine, Ohio a few weeks ago?
?
Man, so many peeps really wanted those Wal-Mart Fema Camps….. All over the Dioxin freakout.
I just got a sweet deal on a container full of bottled Palestine Spring Water!
$0.10 on the dollar!
You’re lucky. I was standing beside some Palestinian’s springing water loose from the city supply then all of a sudden there was Pop, pop pop pop. They fizzled out.
Russia will have every right to blame the PTB in the west if this thing goes destroyer.
Revelation 11:18
King James Version
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Ukraine is a terrorist State and the world will be better off without it.
Ukraine has been abused mercilessly since at least 1917. Many off its people are Russians or Russia-friendly. This is just more heartbreaking crime.
Ukraine was been abused centuries before 1917. That abuse also includes Russia, Poland, Germany, the Baltic states and the Austria-Hungarian Empire. It separates west from east and stretchescfrom the Baltic sea to the Black Sea with no natural borders like mountains. It has very fertile land and has always been the “breadbasket” of Europe along with very rich and rare natural resources in the Donbass region, making all those foreign governments covet the land. It had never been a country until the fall of the iron curtain. Kiev is also considered the first Russian city, and the princes of Kiev ruled Russia before the rise of Moscow.
The history of Europe for millennium or two or three…
Curious minds ask:
How many years total, was Ukraine an autonomous “country”in all recorded history?
I think both those statements can be true.
There goes my vacation plans.
This is the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant that the US warned the Russians contained “sensitive nuclear technology” that they shouldn’t touch.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/18/politics/us-warns-russia-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant/index.html#:~:text=A%20view%20shows%20the%20Zaporizhzhia,Ukraine%2C%20October%2014%2C%202022.
Of course, the Russians know about nuclear power technology, so what exactly were the Americans talking about?
Bio labs, “sensitive nuclear technology”, shelling ethnic Russians. Yeah the Russian invasion was totally “unprovoked”. Pssssht.
“Zaporizhzhia”
Sounds like a bong manufacturing company.
If it were important, they’d have given it a better name!
Buh bye!
Bwahaha!
