For your third point I think you are mixing things up.
Zaporizhzhia was shelled and afaik no increase in radiation was mentioned in any news I read. News also stressed that an office building was shelled, not the actual reactor.
Chernobyl there were rumors about a nuclear waste depot being blown up and subsequent increase in radiation. However, it was always mentioned that this could be due to troop movement over contaminated soil and there were never worrying radiation numbers.
Edit: I previously said the control room was on fire but can’t find a source anymore.
- rurban 5y agoOnly the reactors 5 and 6 were shut down, 1-4 not. I never heard that the control room was on fire, only that Chechens attached explosives to the reactors. The shelling was at the training reactor building, and the administrative building was shot at and set on fire.
- JimBlackwood 5y agoYou are correct, upon looking for a source I couldn’t find what I had seen earlier. Must have been wrong news :/
- bewaretheirs 5y agoIf the fighting had been a bit more intense at Zaporizhzhia, a repeat of Fukushima would not be out of the question (reactors shut down but not cold, unlucky shots take out backup power, cooling lost, meltdown from decay heat from fission products).
