Is anyone else terrified about a nuclear catastrophe from Ukraine?
We're a single loose shell away from another nuclear catastrophe in Ukraine, and I'm terrified. Is anyone else? Given that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant has already suffered shelling it seems fair to say that we're on the brink of a nuclear fallout at the moment.
Don't quote me on this, but I think you personally will absorb more radiation from eating bananas in your lifetime than you would from Zaporizhzhia even if it were blown to smithereens.
Risks from nuclear meltdowns are actually overinflated in the public mind. Do you know how many people died of radiation poisoning in the wake of Chernobyl? It's fewer than you think.
The world really isn't taking Russia-Ukraine seriously enough. But the risk of a Chernobyl level disaster is low, with a Fukushima level disaster as the worst case scenario and also low likelihood.
Well there’s no point in being “terrified” because you can’t control the outcome. Why waste your last moment imagining your body decaying from fallout burns and then, actually having to endure it as well?
In all seriousness though I’m pretty sure one side in that conflict will intentionally bomb a plant and blame the other, both having the motive of revenge against Europe. Ukraine because nobody helped them and indeed the powers that be got out the popcorn, and Russia just because they’re crazy spiteful soviet shits like they always have been.
I have gas mask with filter marked to 1952 year for me. Still very appropriate to put it on in first few days because of alfa and betta ray make any dust radioactive.
I just wish we would stop funding foreign wars
