Nuclear Workers Battle Blaze at Gunpoint

According to our ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the world “narrowly averted a nuclear catastrophe last night.” Russian troops seized Ukraine’s largest reactor complex. Managers working at “gunpoint” were forced to scramble, putting out a blaze caused by the reckless Russian attack.

Nuclear near-miss

Countries around the planet are uniting in solidarity to condemn Vladimir Putin for the way he seized control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine overnight. Reports are coming in Friday morning, March 4, about how close of a call we had.

The United Nations Security Council convened an emergency meeting to discuss calling the action a “war crime.” They won’t, but they thought about it.

The State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate verifies the occupation by Russian forces and assure the public they remain in contact with the management at the pirated plant.

What they’ve been hearing on the phone gives them the heebie jeebies and they warn the Russians, for God’s sake, stop shooting at the reactors. They almost blew everyone to hell last night. All six reactor vessels “remained intact.

Shelling from the initial attack on the nuclear plant caused a fire at “auxiliary buildings for reactor unit 1.” Out of six reactors “four of the remaining units were being cooled down while one unit is providing power.” It remains a tense situation. Petro Kotin, head of the power company explains that Russian forces “entered the territory” of the facility, taking control of the personnel and management.

The station management works at invaders’ gunpoint. As for the staff, they were admitted in the morning to perform their duties. We do not currently have a direct connection to the station. We get information from the sources at the station.” Things are safe for now but “further attacks could lead to disaster.

Fire is out

Ukraine’s State Emergency Services confirmed that “several dozen firefighters had extinguished a blaze that had started in a training building outside the main reactor complex, following shelling from Russian military forces.” Radiation levels never spiked above normal.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russian troops on Friday of committing a “terror attack” by intentionally firing at the nuclear plant. He spelled out the invaders are “potentially risking the lives of millions.

Later, he went into more detail in an address to the public. “Together in 1986 we struggled with the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster. You must remember the burning graphite scattered by the explosion, the victims.

You must remember the glow above the destroyed power unit, you must remember the evacuations from Pripyat and the 30 km zone. How can you forget it?” Nuclear energy isn’t something to play with.

Radiation does not know where Russia is, radiation does not know where the border of your country is!” The U.S. Embassy for Ukraine declared, “it is a war crime to attack a nuclear power plant. Putin’s shelling of Europe’s largest nuclear plant takes his reign of terror one step further.

As explained by an IAEA spokesperson, “what happens next at Zaporizhzhia is ‘a situation that is very difficult to sustain, very fragile‘ while there is an active military operation and Russian forces in control.” Luckily, he added, “the situation did not degrade into a nuclear accident, there was no release of radioactive material, but of course it was a close call.
