Zaporija under very high surveillance

Ukrainians are afraid to see the power station Zaporizhia release radioactive substances. Several shells crashed into the plant. Moscow (Russia) and Kyiv (Ukraine) blame each other for the risk faced by the plant. The heart of the reactor does not pose a problem, because it is protected, but this is not the case for the buildings nearby which surround this plant. For the moment, the authorities do not know what to expect regarding the state in which he is Zaporizhia.

“If it is a new fuel storage site, we are on a fuel that can be handled with the hands so there are not very significant radioactive dangers. If it breaks, it is likely that you can have uranium dust that will be disseminated around, that is to say a few tens of meters, perhaps“, explains Emmanuelle Left handresearcher in nuclear physics at the CNAM. President Ukrainian Volodymyr Zelensky would like the international atomic energy agency to assess the location. The UN would like to demilitarize this area.
