Fire breaks out at nuclear power plant in Ukraine

Vehicles moving through the area of the reactor made local radiation levels increase from 3,000 nSv/h to 65,500 nSv/h during the initial invasion. The most recent data is from Mar 1st and shows a spike to 93,000 nSv/h. The area around the reactor is not being updated on the radiation map, but the rest of the map is current.

According to both Russian and Ukrainian ambassadors the initial increase in radiation was due to large vehicles moving through the area kicking up dust and debris. The numbers shown are within expectations for that scenario. However, the map is not current at this time and actual radiation levels after the bomb/missile strike are unknown.

Maybe we shouldnt have either...then none of this would ve happening...just like we should pull our noses out of a lot of other countries business and stop trying to rule the world through influence and puppets...

All fun and games until someone is rolling a tank up your drive. When someone does it, are you going to fight or are you going to sit there muttering that they are only fighting the New World Order and that your impending subjugation is for the best?

Pretty sure the Ukrainians are fighting and don't give two rips about Russia or the West, only the realities of an invasion on their front lawns.

Unknown to us it least...I assume it would be a difficult thing to update unless Ukraine or russia are responsible for said map. I would also assume the US knows what the deal is too...if we don't have 10 or so sats over the area in and off all day I would be surprised.

This could pull us into the war tomorrow whether we like it or not. Maybe even tonight. The danger to Europe is too high

I've said it before and I will repeat it now. We started this crap by getting involved with them ousting their old puppet so we could put in your own puppets. That'd be like mexico ousting their corrupt leaders and russia showing up to help build a new gov...then installing their puppets. You think we would allow that? Hell no...we would be invading mexico with haste or assassinating all kinds of people. The ones respond sible for this are play I g power games and politics the ones paying the price are normal folks like you and I from both sides. Russian conscripts and Ukrainians conscripts and civvies. I don't like war or death but I can understand it and actimg like this is all on russia is not a very accurate representation of reality here...

a reply to: ketsuko

Also a lot of Ukrainians are fighting because they are being forced too. You do know they are preventing anyone from what like 18 to 60 years old from leaving and requiring them too fight and become combatants...regardless of their will to or not.

There was a report that the Ukrainian President had also released prisoners from prisons in order to fight the Russians. That is something you dont see often on the media been talked about.

They tried to do that with Syria, pushing for a no fly zone to shoot down Russian fighters they backed down, will they back down out of this one in Eastern Europe?

I don't doubt that as they need every body they can get. I just think a lot of people think they have a clue because of the media or twitter or youtube...they think they are getting real news but almost all of it I have seen for both sides has been full of propaganda. And sadly now I am only allowed to watch western propaganda without some effort now...no more RT to balance the western stuff...

I like to see both sides and use my brain to figure out a more accurate and probable outlook.

a reply to: vNex92

Well Turkey got away with it so maybe they have a point lol...

That was a cunning move to get the world involved,I bet Zelinsky didn't think that one up.

That plant was effectively disabled when it melted down in 1986. It has been offline, in slow burn, and uninhabitable ever since. A shell was built around it to contain radiation while work was done to limit radiation leaking. That shell began to deteriorate and a second larger shell was built around the first to further contain the radiation allowing the first shell and parts of the reactor to be removed safely. Cleanup is scheduled to end in 2065.

Shelling is an Artillery term mate as in dropping artillery shells on the plant , i don't mean literally building a shell around it but none the less interesting information .

Sounds like he is referring to Chernobyl

No worries. The radiation levels at the nuclear facility are at normal levels.

It was just the MSM taking another stab at dragging NATO countries into the Russia-Ukraine war.

Relax comrades, Big Mother Russia has thing under control . . .

Ukraine’s State Emergency Service later issued an update stating that the fire had actually erupted in a “training building” on the site, suggesting it posed no danger to the facility’s reactors. While it noted firefighters were initially unable to respond due to the fighting, they were ultimately able to contain the blaze.
The UN’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), meanwhile, said that no “essential equipment” had been damaged at the plant, adding that there has been “no change reported in radiation levels” there, citing Ukrainian officials.

I get that but this whole post has nothing to do with Chernobyl, it's another Nuclear plant entirely .

I find this hard to believe unless the Russian army has zero leadership and no care for their own wellbeing.

Lots of horrible stuff is happening but our media is trying to get everyone worked up.

Tell yourself whatever you like, but I doubt very much that people who were literally starved by the Russians around the same time as the Jews were being forcibly exterminated by the Nazis really want to be ruled by the Russians again.

None of that is me saying we should be involved. That's just me looking the way things fell out. Maybe if the Russians hadn't tried to murder all of them, things would be different and the Ukrainians would feel more kindly disposed toward the Russians, but you don't starve them to death and them expect them to welcome you with open arms.
