Austys: There Is No Need to Panic about the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, but Let’s Be Prepared2023-08-03, 18:37“The war in Ukraine has already been going on for a year and a half, with the media constantly highlighting possible threats to the nuclear power plants that might arise there. During the first months of the war, they reported how the power plant operators were setting up fortifications in the vicinity of Chernobyl (interestingly, had they realised the possible threats to their own health?), however lately, there are increasing discussions regarding possible preparations to blow up the reactors of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. Even the relocation of military machinery and its use in such an undertaking is very dangerous, let alone the setting up of explosives. It is hard to comprehend”, said Assoc. Prof. Donatas Austys, a lecturer from the Department of Public Health at the Institute of Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, at Vilnius University and a member of certification commission at the Radiation Protection Centre, when discussing the risks of an accident at the Zaporizhzhia NPP.
