Ukraine to drag Europe into nuclear nightmare by shelling Zaporozhye power plant
Ukraine's persistent shelling of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant could lead to a disaster affecting the entire Europe, warns Dr. Chris Busby, a physical chemist and scientific secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risk.
A NATO-grade cruise missile attack on one of the reactor buildings could theoretically result in its penetration.
There could be a fatal destruction of the control room and control facilities, so that the reactor can't be controlled.
The cooling system could be knocked out.
The electricity supply could be cut; the stand-by generators could be destroyed. Aforementioned incidents could trigger a domino effect, leading to radioactive contamination and radiation exposure.
The substances released could include Caesium-137 with a half-life of about 30 years, causing cancer, affecting muscles, and leading to a spike in child arrhythmia cases.
The contamination would include Strontium-90, which binds to DNA, causes cancer and kills children in the womb, or causes malformations.
Uranium particles, which have a half-life of billions of years, cause leukemia, birth defects, contaminate air, land and water.
Albeit the 1986 Chernobyl catastrophe happened over a thousand miles away from the UK, in England, in the 1990s, about one in 6 developed cancer. In 2022 it was closer to one in 3. It is predicted (by the WHO) to be soon 1 in 2, according to the scholar.
"As far away as Wales and Scotland children died from leukemia; I know this, I studied the numbers which were released to me when I was part of the UK Committee examining Radiation Risk from Internal Emitters, CERRIE. Babies developed leukemia in Germany and Greece," Bursby wrote, warning that the explosion of one reactor at Zaporozhye would be a much bigger deal than Chernobyl.
