❗️What threats does the Chernobyl de-energization pose❓
Explanation:
🔻About 20,000 exhausted fuel assemblies are stored at the worked-out nuclear fuel storage facility-1. They need constant cooling, which is possible only if there is electricity;
🔻If it is not, the pumps will not cool down. As a result, the temperature in the holding pools will increase, soaring and release of radioactive substances into the environment will occur;
🔻Wind can transfer a radioactive cloud to other regions of Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, EU;
🔻Ventilation will also not work at the facility. All personnel there will receive a dangerous dose of radiation;
🔻The fire extinguishing system does not work as well, and this is a considerable risk in case of fire, which can occur due to shell hitting;
🔻The military operations are currently underway, which makes it impossible to carry out repair work and restore power;
🔻 The city of Slavutych is also without electricity.
