Another Chernobyl? Multiple incidents at Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant

“Emergency shutdown” at one of world’s largest nuke plants

Local Official: “Radiation is 14 times higher than acceptable norm” in area; Warns of Chernobyl-type disaster
Gov’t: Levels are “within acceptable limits”, incident is under investigation

Second accident at plant this month

Don't worry, Homer Skripchenko is at the controls.

According to Donetsk People’s Republic official radiation spike was caused by a failed attempt to replace Russian-made fuel rods with US components.

Top-notch high quality Russian-made components substituted with inferior US pigdogrods caused radiation to spike. Got it.

According to this:

Westinghouse’s gain of the Ukrainian market may be seemed as another victory of the US company in its bid to conquer the European market of nuclear fuel consumption, which heavily rely on Russian supplies.
Last month The Financial Times daily reported that Westinghouse was pressing the European Union to introduce competition rules on the nuclear fuel market with the aim of reducing Europe’s dependency on the Russian fuel supplies.
The world’s biggest supplier of nuclear fuel argued that with Europe’s vulnerability to Russian natural gas supplies in view of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine Brussels needed to assess risks concerning the Russian nuclear fuel supplies to Eastern Europe.
According to Westinghouse, Russia makes up for 36% of the entire EU’s uranium enrichment needs and many reactors in Eastern Europe depend entirely on sets of fuel rods from Russia.
Finland is one of the European states depending heavily on supplies of Russian nuclear fuel, while Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic are entirely dependent on the Russian deliveries.
The daily reported that, according to Westinghouse “the EU’s weak spot lies in Russian VVER reactors across the former communist bloc and Finland, for which the Russian company TVEL is the only supplier.”
Westinghouse presses the EU for diversification in the Eastern Europe, since the US-based company is the only alternative for supplies of nuclear fuel for VVER-440 reactors.
The company said it needed an investment of $20 million to reprise the nuclear fuel production for the VVER-440 reactors, however, the work would take up to two years.

it appears that US corporations are again sticking Russia in the eye when it comes to fuel/energy

how convenient would it be to spread false rumors that the competition's fuel might just kill the whole damn planet

They should have started switching to thorium reactors five years ago.

I think the scary thing is the fact that Westinghouse is a leading supplier of nuclear energy but makes the shittest tvs on earth.

let's see if Russia will still want that territory

If I were a world leader I would have insisted every single nuclear plant be built in a manner where it could be buried in a hurry with something underneath to keep it in place

shit's dangerous, what the fuck do we not have appropriate fail safes, much less next to the ocean ect, I mean, it's a great power source, so do it right?

someone hire this random internet dood 2 "do it right"

Molten salt reactors literally cannot melt down
We have the tech, just no balls

I would think building nuclear reactor on fault line and storing up doomsday amounts of fuel in one above ground pool takes balls

giant mutated balls
