Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant

KYIV – In an interview with the New Statesman today (23 June) in the Rybalsky compound of Ukraine’s military intelligence services in Kyiv, Kyrylo Budanov warned that Russia has finished preparations for an attack on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in the south-east of the country.
According to Budanov, who leads the Main Directorate military intelligence organisation, the cooling pond of the plant has been mined by Russian troops. Without cooling, the nuclear reactors could melt in a period of between ten hours and 14 days. He believes Russia would be able to raise the voltage in the power supply lines to the plant, bringing about a nuclear accident at the lower end of that time frame. As Budanov put it during the interview, “Technical means could be used to speed up the catastrophe.”
Ukrainian military intelligence has also been able to establish that Russian troops have moved vehicles charged with explosives to four of the six power units. It is not clear if the International Atomic Energy Agency was granted access to these units during its visit on 15 June.
On 22 June, Volodymyr Zelensky made an alarming public announcement suggesting an attack on Zaporizhzhia could happen at any moment. The intelligence came from Ukraine’s Main Directorate. The prospect of a provoked accident has been raised before but Budanov thinks this time is different. “The situation has never been as severe as now,” he said. Zelensky added that Ukraine’s interior ministry has been tasked with preparing the population with how to respond to a nuclear catastrophe.
I asked Ukraine’s spymaster if the decision to blow up the power plant has been taken. He is confident the plan is fully “drafted and approved”. The only element missing is the order to go ahead. “Then it can happen in a matter of minutes.”
Whether the order will come depends on how Russia sees the potential benefits from a nuclear disaster in southern Ukraine. Budanov told me there are two possibilities. The first would be to blow up the power plant if its forces get ousted from the left bank of the Dnieper river. Russia would then create a zone of destruction and exclusion as a way to prevent Ukraine from advancing. The strategy may also serve as a threat not to attack Russian positions.
The second possibility is that Russia would use a nuclear disaster as a “preventive measure”, in Budanov’s words. The goal in this case would be to stop Ukraine’s offensive before it starts and to freeze the line of contact as it exists. If Russia is convinced that it cannot stop a Ukrainian advance any other way, it would activate what Zelensky in his address called “a terrorist attack with radiation leakage”.
There is frustration in Ukrainian intelligence and government circles that the reaction from the global community to the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam on 6 June was so muted, and that it might invite further “scorched Earth tactics”.

All die. Can Sentosa billion property protect us from nuke ?
RUS has 102 hydro-electric power plants & 38 nuclear power stations....
Should a 'nuclear power station accident' happens at Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, EQUALLY, 'nuclear power station accidentS' can happen within each & every power station within RUS.
Therefore, RUS - the barbaric invaders of the sovereign land of UKR, WILL have to ensure that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station stays safe, otherwise......

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station is an immediate concern, not just to UKR, but to its neighboring nations as well, as should it be blown up so called 'accidently' as happened to the Nova Kakhovka hydroelectric dam in UKR. With nuclear power, it will be FAR worse, as radioactive isotopes will be found in water sources as well as in Earth's atmosphere, flowing according to the jet stream of winds.
There is no telling anymore of what the desperate & insane RUS govt will do to UKR if it perceives itself losing the war, as those leaders had proven themselves to be insane, & equally, the WILL & DETERMINATION of UKR citizens to fight back against such power to retain Sovereignty, Dignity & their way of life - hard fought freedom - to evict those proven BRUTAL RUS invaders whom had not spared anyone - combatants or civilians, in their DEMENTED minds for power whom WILL even sacrifice the lives of their own RUS troops whom are guarding the nuke power station when the RUS govt decides to blow it up, so as to NOT arouse suspicion by evacuating them. That's how CRUEL the RUS govt had proven itself to be, sadly....
There is NO point in crying over spilt milk as the saying goes, when the nuke power plant blows up. Many, many innocent fellow Human lives will be lost, AND FOR WHAT?
The thing to do now is for EVERY nuke trained individual, in Unis, govt or private institutions, to discuss, debate & FIND SOLUTIONS on HOW TO CONTAIN the disaster - in a war fraught situation - the COUNTER MEASURES NECESSARY. It may be too late to PREVENT the disaster, as happened to the Nova Kakhovka hydroelectric dam, although the insignificant nobody me had provided such measures should the dam blows. However, Humanity, with 7 Billion or more educated minds, may find the necessary counter measures.
I can think of some - to provide each UKR soldier with geiger counters, so that they may know IMMEDIATE results of the radiation levels & to warn off innocent villagers living nearby, have an EVACUATION PLAN based upon atmospheric conditions, be equipped with HAZMAT gears to continue with its liberation of UKR as well as to save as many UKR troops, citizens AND the RUS troops still stationed there, as many as possible of them whom will be BETRAYED by their RUS masters. Each Human life is precious & means something special to another....
My intelligence alone is limited. But with 7 BILLION Humankind whom are far more intellectual than me, I am confident that ways to CONTAIN any nuke fallout as well as the COUNTER - MEASURES in the face of radioactive isotopes in water & air CAN be found.
All the best.
