Enriched Uranus and Half a Million of People: Russian Federation 74 times fired at a nuclear object in Kharkiv - NYT

The IAEA is guarded by the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant, which the Russians occupied in the first days of the invasion, as well as the Chernobyl NPP, which suffers from the blows of the Russian Federation, said The New York Times Media.

Against the backdrop of conversations about the requirements of the Kremlin for the surrender of Ukraine and the encroachment in the Kharkiv region, there was a report from the "Nuclear subcritical installation" Source of Neutrons "of Kharkiv Physical and Technical Institute. It was found out that during the war, the installation, which stores "several dozen pounds" (about 10 kg) of the enriched uranium is stored. The thermal synthesis with radioactive hydrogen.

The Institute does not reveal the exact amount of uranium on the spot, " - wrote NYT. The interlocutors of the media stressed that the premises of a scientific institution are not intended for keeping Russian bombardment. Regular strikes of the Russian Federation with the use of missiles, artillery and drones, in the object" cannot be a random ". Five Russian officers. [It is also said that] a direct hit can pollute an area with about 640,000 people.

Ukrainian prosecutors accused officers of Ecocid, - the article reads. NYT posted a photo of the effects of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation by "Neutron source". One of the images has crushed equipment and walls. The chief engineer of the Physical Institute Andriy Mytsikov spoke about the carelessness and illogicality of the actions of the Russians. "They simply do not understand what we are dealing with. They do it without any logic," the media of the scientist said.

The article described other incidents related to nuclear threats and the danger of radioactive or other emissions: about Zaporizhzhya and Chernobyl NPPs in Ukraine, about Kursk NPPs, and about the undergoing of the Kakhovsk Hydroelectric Power Plant. "Ukraine has a long list of vulnerable nuclear objects such as reactors for research or electricity production, and storage of waste fuel.

The longer the war lasts, the greater the risk of impact that can extend radioactive material to a large territory. Some objects have enlarged safety precautions, but they have not been constructed. It should be noted that Focus wrote about the strikes of the Russian Federation by "source of neutrons". One of these cases happened in the spring of 2024: the nuclear installation was disconnected, but later healed through a diesel generator.
