Early morning from Thursday from 13 to Friday, February 14 (UTC Time), a team of technicians from International Agency for United Nations Atomic Energy It was supplanted in the vicinity of Chernobyl, perceiving a large roar, which seemed to come from an old nuclear power plant. The Ukrainian authorities soon stated that the Russian drone affected sarcophagus Concrete and steel, which covers what was the fourth unit of energy. Fortunately, radiation levels in this area have not increased. The attack on Chernobyl did not cause a nuclear disaster. But to what extent would it be possible?
This is what bothers both Ukrainian authorities and nuclear security experts around the world since the conflict with Russia began. Given the level of abandonment of this area of the country, Russian troops began the invasion of this land, increasing the risk The release of radiationThere was still no direct attack. In fact, from the Kremlin they deny that they are responsible for this drone, although they did not provide evidence.
In any case, the attack on Chernobyl is an opportunity, and the consequences can be very dangerous. In 2022, he already talked about this in the article Talk Biologist Timothy A. MussoThe field according to him, the consequences will be terrible with complete safety for ecosystem The environment and, possibly, also for people. In this case, there is nothing to be afraid of, but for many people in a fist in a fist in a fist.
Possible consequences of the attack on Chernobyl
The Chernobyl disaster occurred in 1986 from a human mistake. He was released into the environment 400 times more radioactivity than with a hiroshima bomb And, although at the moment there were not as many dead as with this, deaths from the radiation have occurred for years. In addition, nearby populations have become cities -conders and the natural environment in a hostile landscape. Fortunately, nature was slightly open, although Radiation level They are still too high for life at many points. For example, what is known as Red Forest Only a few days of exposure are enough for the radiation dose to be very dangerous.
But the consequences could be even more if it were not for the construction of a structure known as SacrificeThe field is a large concrete and a steel case that rose around the affected reactor. Thus, radiation cannot move to the environment and, in addition, the means Meteorological lugs This can free even more radiation.
There are also dry barrels carried out in the exclusion zone 2.4 million kilograms. The consumption of radioactive fuel is still dangerous. Any spark can lead to the fact that atoms are separated again and that a new chain reaction begins, releasing radiation into the environment.
With all this, it is estimated that the attack on Chernobyl can free the environment even more radiation from which it was released that day of 1986. According to Musso, this will mean Ecological catastrophe of global proportionsIn addition, of course, health will also be affected by the field, of course, health will also be affected.
Any slight violation can be dramatic
At the beginning of the Russian invasion of the nuclear power plant, a noticeable increase in the level of radiation was discovered. There was no attack on Chernobyl. Just the soldiers passed by. After analyzing the situation, scientists who moved to the region confirmed that simple Dust rising through the passage of vehicles He released radioactive material into the environment. This, of course, in the near future, not assuming any danger. But the risk of this did not end.
They are afraid that an increase in human activity, which meant that the arrival of the Russian army could lead to Fires It would be very dangerous. It can be terrible, even if they did not affect the sarcophagus or the exclusion zone. For example, if the dead trees of the era of nuclear disaster were burned by a forest fire, a large amount of radioactive material during combustion was released.
If all this happens to get a little dust, and the fires and cigarettes soldiers are terrible, which will not make an explosion of drone? The attack on Chernobyl would be terrifying. The worst of all is that since Russia has invaded Ukraine, we saw quite terrifying scenes to consider it something completely believable. Because at that time what happened was a human mistake, but the greatest disasters are those that are not the result of a mistake, but greed and desire for power. These are those that give the most.
