As a result of the modeling, it was stated that the radiation initially moved towards Belarus, Poland and the Baltic countries, but the main direction of the radioactive particles was the east of the country, namely the Donbas region.
“INCREASE CAN BE OBSERVED”
“At the end of the simulated period, the main direction of radionuclide transport is to the east, as a result of which increases in the concentration of radioactive aerosols in the surface air of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions can be observed,” the statement of scientists pointing to the Donbas region said.
The Institute emphasized that they will continue to model according to the weather conditions in different time periods.
WHAT IS RUSSIA SAYING?
The Russian Ministry of Defense, on the other hand, made an assessment of the situation at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant and claimed that the power plant was bombed by the Ukrainian army as of July 18.
The ministry stated that it had made an investigation and accordingly the attacks were launched from the Marganets and Nikopol sides. The ministry also prepared a map of another scenario prepared by Russian scientists.
