Hi Tangs. I don't expect the mods to be experts on this war or the impact of the Nova Kakhova dam destruction.

I was a tad hysterical but hysteria is sometimes logical. This is one such time.

I understand that the IAEA is aware of the risk to the Zaporizhzhia plant if the water level of the reservoir falls beyond a certain point. The IAEA previously said that decreased water levels don't create an immediate threat but "may be a source of concern if it is allowed to continue"

As we all know, the water level problem will continue because Putin blew up the dam.

The key question is whether or not enough river flow can be pumped into the reactor cooling systems. This would be challenging without a war but what about now?

The issues of a vast drop in grain production and the inability of either side to now divert water to Crimea are now secondary. The primary risk now is a nuclear fuel rod melt down.

We should all be afraid of what we don't know. What is certain is that any meltdown will contaminate the Dripro with Iodine 131 and caesium 134/137.

Considering Fukushima as a benchmark, the Black Sea is far smaller than the Pacific. There is nowhere for any contamination to dilute. Nuclear contamination would simply flow down the Dnipro and into the Black Sea.

Putin must explain how he will now cool the fuel rods. Putin needs to explain this to his own government and to the governments of Georgia, Turkiye, Moldova, Bulgaria,and Romania.

Militarily the blowing of the dam may inerrupt the ability of the UAF to operate in the marsh lands and the spit but that is neither here nor there. The key impact is on civilians.

I don't know how Ukraine can help to feed Africa now.

very dangerous situation
those supporting putin here have a lot to answer

as to HC standards ...the rules are there ....if an assertion is unsubstantiated that should be all it takes .
Onus should be on all of us to substantiate .
Because this rule is ignored is why standards here are so low ....and liars , usually deliberately so , abound .
