What could possibly go wrong at Europe's largest nuclear power station, situated in a country at civil war, in financial meltdown and run by fascist madmen? Tell me.
Is Ukraine Hiding A Huge Radiation Leak At The Largest Nuclear Power Plant In Europe?
Is Ukraine Hiding A Huge Radiation Leak At The Largest Nuclear Power Plant In Europe?
30
December, 2014
Two
days ago we reported of the odd coincidence of a 2nd emergency
shutdown at
Ukraine's Zaporozhye Nuclear reactor - Europe's
largest nuclear power plant - following
our earlier fears of disinformation.
Today, we get information of a leaked
report sourced
from three different place - unconfirmed
for now (but RT is trying to verify) -
thatUkrainian
nuclear scioentists misled the public and a radioactive leak has been
detected -
citing the country’s emergency services claiming that levels
of radiation are 16.3 times the legally permitted norm.
A radioactive leak has been detected at Ukraine’s Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant, the largest in Europe, a media report says, citing the country’s emergency services. The report claims that levels of radiation are 16 times the legally permitted norm.
LifeNews published a leaked report by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, which denies an earlier assessment by the plant’s authorities that the radiation at the facility is equal to the natural background following an incident on Sunday.
RT is trying to verify the report.
On Sunday, one reactor at the plant was automatically shut down after a glitch, becoming the second halt in operations in recent weeks. The reactor was running at 40 percent of nominal power, the plant's official website said, adding that radiation at the facility being at the level of 8-12 microroentgens an hour.
The error was later announced to have been corrected, and the troubled unit – Power Block # 6 – was plugged back into the network.
On November 28, Zaporizhia's Unit 3 was switched off for almost a week. The shutdown, which was reportedly caused by a short circuit, was made public five days later, when Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk revealed it during the first meeting of his new Cabinet.

Zaporizhia
nuclear power plant is one of the four nuclear power plants in the
country, which together supply a large part of Ukraine's energy
needs. The Zaporizhia plant alone, Europe's largest, supplies at
least one-fifth of the country’s power needs. It is the world’s
fifth-largest nuclear power plant.
Ukrainian
nuclear scientists misinformed the public and the media about the
real state of affairs in the Zaporizhzhya NPP. The
Internet got a summary of the State Service for Emergency Situations
of the 28 and 29 December, which refute the assurances leadership
Zaporizhzhya that the sixth unit was put into operation in the
evening on 28 December. In addition, the permissible level of
radiation at the plant, according to the measurements, was above the
norm by 16 times.
Both
documents addressed to the Chief of State GSCHS Ukraine in Zaporozhye
region - Major General Civil Protection Lepsky. In
summary for December 28,
reported that at six o'clock in the Zaporizhzhya NPP due to damage to
the transformer emergency generator protection system worked 6th
unit.
-
At 6 am on December 28 at the Zaporozhye NPP operates five units
(1,2,3,4,5) ... The total capacity of 4278 MW nuclear power plant
radiation background - 4.90 mSv / year., SVYAP - 4.76 mSv / year . -
16.3 times higher than the acceptable norm - said in a bulletin.
Recall
that the press service of the Zaporizhzhya NPP and representatives of
"Energoatom" in the afternoon on December 28 reported an
emergency situation, noting that the background radiation in a
sanitary zone around the plant remains normal. After
that, the head of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine Dmytro Demchishin
stated that repair of power will take a few days.
However,
on the evening of December 28 the press service of Zaporizhzhya
reported the completion of repair work and emergency unit is
connected to the grid.
However
GSCHS summary for December 29, completely refuted this statement
nuclear scientists. The
document says that by 6 am Monday emergency sixth unit is not
connected, the total capacity remained at the level of the previous
day, and the radiation level in the vicinity of nuclear power plants
and the storage of radioactive materials (SVYAP) increased.
-
At 6 am on December 29 at the Zaporizhzhya NPP in five units
(1,2,3,4,5) ... At 6 am on December 28 sixth unit is disconnected
from the unified energy system ... The total capacity of 4278 MW
nuclear power plant radiation background - 5.05 mSv / yr., SVYAP -
4.91 mSv / year. - Exceeding 16.8 times - said GSCHS Ukraine.
Recall
first of background radiation above the threshold of 14 times in the
area of ??Zaporozhye NPP evening of December 28 said the deputy
chairman of the People's Council DNI Dennis Pushilin. He
explained leak Ukrainian nuclear scientists attempt to install power
rod blocks produced by the American company Westinghouse.

Of course, there is no way to actually know what is happening on the ground as the NPP is located close enough to the "fog of war", that its status, and updates thereof, could merely be part of the fog of war. That said, if there is an unspoken message here by Ukraine, which recently handed over its gold to unknown "Western" interests, and suddenly feels neglected by its western allies (as its central bank head is about to find out personally), it is targeted directly at the IMF: "hand over more loans, or the nuclear power plant gets it."
However,
this appears more serious than simple false flags.
