2022-03-04 "Radioactive Ukrainian lands will be a 'firewall' against Russian invasion for thousands of years" [長年日記]

I had not commented on the invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces at this time, but when I watched the news this morning, I instantly switched phases.

"Armed attack on an operating nuclear power plant? Are they insane? "

In 1981, Israel bombed a nuclear power plant in Iraq (Operation Babylon) with the aim of destroying the facility "before" it became operational.

That does not mean that the destruction of another country's power generation facilities is acceptable, but at least the Israeli military knew what it meant by "the right time to attack a nuclear power plant".

The meaning of "critical nuclear power plant in operation" is totally different from the meaning of "nuclear power plant under construction."

A direct attack on the reactor is "out of the question" (in that case, they are "done"), but even if it were just an attack on the control room, you would lose control of the reactor.

And if the "scram" etc. in the reactor can no longer be triggered -- immediate reactor explosion + meltdown.

-----

The nuclear accident (Chernobyl), in which the nuclear reactor was exposed, traded many casualties in order to turn the plant into a giant sarcophagus.

Even an accident (Fukushima) where the reactor was not stripped bare caused so much damage.

This is a bit of a guess, however,

"Radioactive Ukrainian lands will be a 'firewall' against Russian invasion for thousands of years"

If a person thinks that way, "the person is not a human being.

-----

I, as much as possible, have tried to avoid commenting on ongoing events (wars, conflicts, accidents).

This is because facts discovered later may require the claim to be overturned.

However, as of this morning, I have determined that the Russian military and its chief executive (the president) are 100% "evil" for whatever reason (geopolitical background, etc.).

It is an "absolute evil" comparable to, or even greater than, Nazi Germany.

This morning, a line was crossed in my mind.

The situation that made me hesitant to speak up has vanished.
