Radiation from Zaporozhia NPP

Update on radiation from Zaporozhia NPP accident

Earlier in January I covered a series of accidents at the Zaporozhia nuclear power plant.

Go HERE and HERE

Since then there has been ZERO follow-up on this anywhere in the media (including RT, which last reported on this at the end of 2014)

Indications from the stirling work of the anonymous author at https://allegedlyapparent.wordpress.com - indicates that radiation is being released that is comparible with Chernolbyl in 1986.

And yet this is being covered up not only by Ukrainian authorities but also by western governments and media.

My call would be to RT to follow this up. Their coverage has been fantastic.

This incident, in the midst of a civil war and its cover-up shows how utterly fucked-up this world is.

Not is there no information but there seems to be little interest in this either.

Are things so bad that exposure to ionising radiation just elicits a yawn?

I think the word is cognitive dissonance.

There is someone else who is onto this. He has written an article which he prefaces this way:

I’m going to keep hammering this nail into the proverbial radioactive waste barrel until the Ukrainian government admits they lied about “all being just fine – no radiation released” at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) and they, with their accomplices, are arrested.

He follows this with an analysis of radiation measured from monitors in Latvia and compares this with measured radiation from the accident at Chrnobyl in 1987

There is someone else who is onto this. He has written an article analyzing radiation measured by monitors in Latvia after the Zaporozhia accidents and compared this with radiation measured from Chernobyl in 1986 and concludes that there was a major accident at the Zaparozhia NPP in December

"In order to gauge the significance of a +0.4 µSv/hr spike on several ground-level monitors in Latvia, some 1500 km precisely downwind from the ZNPP in Eastern Ukraine, I searched for similar aerial dose data from right after Chernobyl.  Finally I found some:

"Gamma dose rates from shortly after the 1986 Chernobyl accident in the most contaminated air layer of the Chernobyl plume 1000 to 2000 meters above Finland on April 29th revealed: the dose rate in that highest-contaminated air layer was no more than 0.8 µSv/hr ! (Source & details below).

"This, and other information from 1986, suggests that the Latvian ground-level spikes, if they were valid data (and I don’t see why it wouldn’t be), plus the dozens of quite extreme upticks all across Europe in the past few months, may indeed be hinting of a nuclear disaster at the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) of a scale no major media outlet or oversight organization has lent credence to yet."
