The radioactive cloud emitted by a possible nuclear accident at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant would also partially cover Romania, according to both a video simulation made by the Institute of Meteorology in Ukraine, and according to a map that was published by the Russian Ministry of Defense during this day.
The simulation of the transit of the radioactive cloud over Europe was made taking into account the direction of the wind during August 15-18, it was made by the Ukrainians, and visible below, and large parts of Romania would be covered by this cloud before it dissipates , Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova, Poland and the Baltic States also being affected.
In the case of the Russian Ministry of Defense map, which you can see below, the impact of the radioactive cloud that could appear in the event of a nuclear accident at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, is much greater, and could cover half of Romania, separated from the Republic Moldova as a whole, and it could even reach Germany.
Russia has been controlling the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant for months, it has attacked various elements of the infrastructure there, it is accused of wanting to cause a nuclear accident, and now it is threatening and scaring Europe with "nuclear accidents", but they should be coordinated including the direction in which the wind blows.
The estimates are made for these days, but if the accident were to take place at a time when the winds were blowing in the direction of Russia, then the country would be substantially affected by the radioactive cloud that appeared in the case of the nuclear accident, which of course the Russians do not want.
In case of a nuclear disaster at Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant occurred on Aug 15-18, this is how the released airborne radioactive contaminants would probably get dispersed – Ukrainian hydrometeorological institute pic.twitter.com/1dQLcCtt1u
