“There are emissions calculations for one of these scenarios. This scenario assumes competent actions of the personnel during the accident to minimize the consequences. That is, it is not an “apocalyptic” scenario, but it is a very severe accident of the maximum category 7 on the INES scale. When estimates of emissions are made, everything depends on meteorological conditions, and we model atmospheric distribution,” explained Ivan Kovalets, head of the Department of Mathematical Environmental Modeling at the Institute of Problems of Mathematical Machines and Systems of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
Details
According to the scientist, the consequences, in particular, will be influenced by meteorological conditions, which change every day, and he added that the consequences of the explosion at the Zaporizhia NPP may be felt in the south of Ukraine, in Crimea, Romania and Bulgaria. There will also be radioactive contamination of the Black Sea.
Addition
As of the morning of August 9, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant continues to operate with the risk of violating radiation and fire safety standards.
After the enemy shelling, Ukraine called on the IAEA and the UN to send a mission to the Zaporizhia NPP by the end of the month.
