Punched a double shell: what can be the effects of the Chernobyl impact - expert (video)

Olga Kosharna, an expert of the Nuclear Safety Expert on Nuclear Security, co -founder of the NGO "Anti -Crisis Expert Nuclear Center of Ukraine" Olga Kosharna, said on the Espresso About the Consequences of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Kosharna explained that the Russian Federation did not aim at that part of the sarcophagus that covers the fourth power unit of the Chernobyl NPP and in which the old radioactive equipment was preserved.

There is a more dangerous area on the shelter (confinement) and it is located somewhat elsewhere. The relevant services have entered the point of hit, as there is still a permissible level of radiation. At the same time, she assured that if there was an increase in radiation, it will remain within the industrial site and shelter. "There are no radiation consequences yet. It is not just a shell, you know, there is a system of engineering structures, ventilation, filters.

The double -dual shell - between the external and internal circulating dry air to prevent condensate. There is a dust suppression system. There is now a tightness. A new engineering solution and money. If the impact fell on the 4th power unit, which stored 200 tons of nuclear fuel, the situation would be worse, the expert emphasized. If it would be a 500-pound bomb at a dangerous point of the Russian Federation, the consequences would also feel Belarus and Russia, she believes.

"There are very high doses. If the bomb falls there, it will be extremely dangerous. In some places there are 2000 X -rays per hour, because during the accident there were 200 tons of nuclear fuel during the crash, 95% of which remained there," - heard on the video. According to the kidhar, fuel over the years turns into dust, and this is the main danger. She clarified what is the purpose of the Chernobyl work: disassembling the old shelter, removal of fuel -containing elements and disposal.

To date, these works have spent $ 1. 5 billion. The expert stressed that the nail attack of Russian drones is a provocation, deliberately dedicated to the Munich Security Conference. She also reminded that Ukraine is working to ensure that the international tribunal recognizes such actions by an act of nuclear terrorism. "And this is the next step of Russia as a nuclear terrorist to show that there is no red lines for Putin, so he does everything he pleases.

The international tribunal that should complete the preparatory work and approve the statute in April this year, just such acts of nuclear terrorism will be the subject of consideration, " - summed up Kosharna. On the night of February 14, the Drones of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation hit the sarcophagus of the Chornobyl NPP, said President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The drones carried a fugas warrior, which damaged the shelter surface.

According to the official, a fire began at the point of blow. Subsequently, the SES published footage of seeds of fire, which was successfully extinguished by the morning. The Ministry of Internal Affairs Igor Klimenko stated that people were not injured from a blow to Chernobyl. He also published the level of radiation that remained within the normal range.
